Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights
Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy since a separate machine is required, and it is not directly installed on a database as it is a type of proxy."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"Splunk AppDynamics helps us in identifying bottlenecks and providing fine-tuning recommendations."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"The metrics browser is very useful, and the deep dive feature is very useful for us."
 

Cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"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."
"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."
"Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application."
"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
"The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
"The tool is expensive."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"The solution has a high cost."
"If one is expensive and ten is low price, I rate the product price as seven out of ten."
"There were no added costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
