We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and AppPulse Suite [EOL] 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."Provides monitoring more around business processes versus just servers, applications, etc. E.g., with complex systems, where a business process passes across multiple applications, the business needs us to monitor the heath of the process, not just a segment of the application."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"At this time, we don't have much visibility on the virtual environment, monitoring, and all other things. We have visibility only for database monitoring, and we have noticed performance impact when deploying database agents on the database server. We got to know this from AppDynamics support also that we should not deploy database agents from the database server. When agents are deployed on the same server and the database is monitored from there, we are not getting database server metrics. Therefore, we don't have those insights, and sometimes, we struggle because of that. They can improve this functionality so that we do not have a performance impact, and we can deploy anywhere. This would help us a lot. In terms of end-user monitoring, currently, it is not working for us because there are some complexities. It is a little complicated, and it takes a little bit of time to understand where you need to make changes. It would be very helpful if they can provide some template designs for end-user monitoring. When our servers are running on VMs, we don't get many insights from the VM side. I don't know whether it is possible to have visibility beyond the database, server, and application and whether there are some features where we can deploy AppDynamics on VMs as well. Such functionality would give us more control over storage, VM, OS, and database. It will also provide complete visibility of our hardware and software."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
