We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Sysdig Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Elastic and others in Container Monitoring."It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
