AppDynamics has been decommissioned over time for the newer cloud-native apps, and we have been using more apps. We primarily use a Google native holistic monitoring tool for tracing, capturing, log aggregation, annual infrastructure, and server monitoring. As our applications get modernized over…

We have a very limited use case related to server monitoring. There is no need to refer to further addition. Every piece of information related to server monitoring is very concrete and crystal clear. We do not get any requests in any division from the end user related to the product. I do not have any issues with the configuration. I would recommend the product because it provides real-time information. Other tools only provide information when there is a server issue. If the CPU reaches 80% while the threshold is set at 70%, they receive an alert. However, Appdynamics offers real-time monitoring and allows users to check their server utilization instantly. Other tools do not provide a consolidated UI to the end users. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Though I have experience with Splunk, I would not be in a position to compare AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Splunk since I currently don't use Splunk. I was also working with a solution named CA Wily. Dynatrace is better than AppDynamics since it offers more features and granularity. Dynatrace is something where I could find that it is better than AppDynamics. With all other solutions in the market, I feel AppDynamics is good. With synthetic monitoring, Dynatrace is good at giving the data and granularity. Dynatrace OneAgent can be used on any stack irrespective of the platform, which I think is a feature AppDynamics introduced recently. Dynatrace performs better than AppDynamics in the aforementioned areas.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Jun 17, 2024

Valuable Features

"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."
"The correlation feature available with AppDynamics Server Monitoring is absent in other competitive solutions"
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."

Room for Improvement

"AppDynamics Server Monitoring lacks investment in new technologies like Kubernetes and cloud solutions."
"There are certain limitations with the agents in the solution"
"If we consider the implementation of alternative solutions, such as Dynatrace, there is a notable difference in the approach to agent-based service monitoring. For instance, Dynatrace employs a single-agent solution, which can pose security concerns. When installing Dynatrace, granting the agent ld pro payload rights is a requirement. In contrast, our solution ensures a more secure approach by not requiring root and administration access. While we currently utilize an agent-based solution, there may be a shift in the next one or two years, possibly with the adoption of Open Telemetry. It's anticipated that many APM vendors, including Dynatrace, may alter their structure or strategy for implementation. However, as of now, the trend is towards an increasing number of implementations daily."

Pricing

"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"The tool is expensive."
