We performed a comparison between Akamai mPulse and AppDynamics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"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."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"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."
