We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Server Monitoring and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring is that it's easy to manipulate and easy to implement. All solutions have the same features, but what sets AppDynamics Server Monitoring apart is that it's really quick to implement. AppDynamics Server Monitoring has a great interface. As a developer, it doesn't matter whether it's SolarWinds, Dynatrace, or any APM you're using, but it would matter to the customer. A product must be easy to manipulate or use, for example, AppDynamics Server Monitoring, for the customer, but for developers like my team, there's no pressure, even if a solution requires coding."
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
