We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Aternity AppInternals [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.
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"From the performance management side, I like everything from business transaction work to tracking. On the database side, we can get a lot of insights from the database. On the server monitoring side, it helped us a lot to find out some of the issues on the VM side because VMs were creating a little trouble for us."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"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."
"Installation and configuration can be very tough. An average user without specialized knowledge can't do this. You need to have DevOps and QA teams handle it. During installation, a lot of customers get stuck trying to track the database or the API part, and they have to contact customer support."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
