We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, AppPulse Suite [EOL], and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics and others in Mobile APM."Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"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 most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"Applications: This provides us insight into how our applications are performing within our environments and affords us the ability to identify opportunities and make changes to code / environment to effect positive performance lift."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"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."
"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."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"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 thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"The Dashboard is very useful, as you can monitor different parameters on the same screen."
"We also use it in our performance testing. We found an issue that way, and we would have put that change live without Dynatrace. Finding that problem in "live", that would have been three or four days of investigation, whereas we found the issue, fixed the issue, reran the tests, all same day."
"We have substantially lowered incidents in our organization."
"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."
"This tool has been essential for monitoring our systems, gathering all performance data, and helping to quickly resolve difficult problems affecting our customers ability to process their work through our systems."
"We use Dynatrace for performance testing. We use it to dig down for application layer or slowness issues, getting a clear idea of what is causing the issues, then reporting back to the engineering team."
"Since we moved to OneAgent, we are much quicker to address live incidents and problems that occur in our systems."
"Helps us to see the troubleshooting points or what is hiccuping. This is where we go. We reboot, fix it, or do whatever it takes for it to be taken care of."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"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."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"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."
"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."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"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."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"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."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"I would like a tool that can give me a one page view of all the problems and issues."
"Documentation could be improved. E.g., you don't know how to properly use Dynatrace because documentation is almost lacking behind the features being deployed."
"It needs more dashboards like AppMon."
"If we can gain more insight into older applications, using not-so-recent technologies, then it would be a plus."
"Bring the interface to the same level as OneAgent."
"I would love to see a better data export, because AppMon's charting capabilities leaves a lot to be desired. You have about a 5,000 line limit. I would really like to see the ability to export, in Dynatrace and AppMon, in essentially in a nice format of whatever you want to whatever else."
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
