Alluvio AppResponse vs AppDynamics comparison

On-premise deployment

With AppDynamics companies have the ability to launch agents via an on-premises install or SaaS deployment, depending on security and compliance needs.


Can be deployed on AWS

As a premier partner within the AWS Marketplace, AppDynamics provides end-to-end monitoring of cloud native applications on AWS, real-time performance monitoring across on-premises and AWS environments and helps accelerate and validate cloud migration.


Can be deployed on Azure

AppDynamics supports the following environments on Microsoft Azure: Azure Cloud Services (PaaS)(Including web and worker roles),Virtual Machines (IaaS), Remote Service Detection (Microsoft Azure Service Bus),Microsoft Azure Queue Microsoft Azure Remote Services (Azure Blob), Azure Queue (Microsoft Service Bus), Data Storage, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.


Can be deployed in a private cloud

AppDynamics can monitor applications in private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.


Monitor on-premise applications in virtualized environments

AppDynamics can monitor applications in on-premises environments in virtualized environments. You simply need to have access to place an agent on the VM, and have external access to the AppDynamics Controller.


Monitor applications running on AWS and Azure

AppDynamics has partnerships with both AWS and Azure. You can monitor applications running in either environment and gather statistics specific to those environments.


Monitor applications running on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Redhat OpenShift and Heroku

AppDynamics supports applications running on all major PAAS providers. For popular platforms like Pivotal we have a tight integration providing end users with visibility and control into an application infrastructure.


Configuration and management through a single, web-based user interface

AppDynamics can be implemented and configured quickly and simply and provides visibility into your entire application topology from a single intuitive web-based UI.


Automatically create a visualization of the entire application topology with all components.

The technology automatically determines what details should be shown and what details should be hidden as you zoom in and out on application flow map. The flow map allows users to visualize your entire web scale application. Users can also zoom in on any node for more details about the health of the associated components along with information useful for troubleshooting problems.


Automatically discover business transactions

AppDynamics agents will automatically discover and identify the methods, classes or web services that service transaction entry points. Requests that follow similar code paths are categorized as instances of a single business transaction.

Automatically discover standard back end systems (database, web services, SAP etc.)

Agent automatically discover common types of remote services as backend systems based on the exit point.


Discover and display non-standard backend systems through point-and-click configuration

If AppDynamics doesn't automatically detect the backend, you can manually define a custom match rule to discover specific backends in your environment.


Automatically baseline every component within the business transaction

Our agents watch every line of code and monitor application traffic patterns to update dynamic baselines of acceptable performance. When transactions experience slowdowns, Appdynamics can automatically trigger diagnostic actions based on health rules.
