Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications.""It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base.""The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue.""It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well.""The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution.""The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring.""We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."

"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are.""New Relic's dashboard is nice, and it's reliable. It's also compatible with many services, especially Java and the Python ecosystem.""Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user.""It has given us better insight into the performance of the system.""We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time.""As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in.""The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins.""Server uptime is its most valuable feature."

Cons
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites.""I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring.""They do not have robust documentation.""The interface and user experience could be better.""The pricing falls within the mid-range category.""AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine.""While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."

More AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring Cons →

"We have had issues with our agents going offline.""They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve.""We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it.""The deployment process could be improved.""New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI.""The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop.""The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process.""The scalability can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This price of this product is expensive."
  • "AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
  • "AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
  • "AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
  • "We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
  • "The pricing needs to come down."
  • More AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
