We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppNeta by Broadcom 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 business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises."
"The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."
"Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable."
"We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network."
"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues."
"The solution's technical support is very good."
"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"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."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."
"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."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."
"I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards."
"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."
"AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem."
"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes."
