We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboards are very well-defined."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The Dynatrace support team that we have is great and the staff that we have had onsite has been consistently good."
"The ability to drill down from an alert into a problem and pinpoint the source of an issue saves my client teams hours of time."
"It was delivered when we wanted it and has performed exceptionally well."
"One of the features that sets this product apart from its competitors is that it generates a solution."
"Dynatrace is capable of following all user actions across all monitored infrastructure, even to systems not monitored, but interconnected."
"We can be more productive and agile. It allows us to be more accurate when we need to work with bugs."
"The Transaction Flow diagram and the class and meta level information, those are really key selling points in the automation for AppMon. Also, the meta level instrumentation and the dashboards that most of the people use in our organization."
"Automation and anomaly detection has helped reduce MTTR and MTBF."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"The products or company go through a rebrand/renaming about once a year, which creates some confusion with our customers."
"I would suggest to have more rich client features on Appmon as soon as possible."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"The one thing I do not like about Dynatrace is that their web dashboards are very very slow. They seriously have to improve their web dashboard configuration and SSL timeouts."
"Needs a greater meta data capture."
"Bring the interface to the same level as OneAgent."
"With Linux or Windows, it automatically takes care of everything, so there's no need for you to do any manual config changes. But when it comes to AIX - because I implemented it two weeks back - you have to go back to kind of an AppMon approach, where you instrument agents for .NET applications. So if Dynatrace could make those changes and make it automated, that would be one of the biggest action items."
"Addition of more statistical features, plus different time series modeling techniques, would really help for future versions."
