We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, BMC TrueSight Operations Management, and Savision Live Maps 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.
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"It is a scalable solution."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"In the current version of AppDynamics, there is a correlated section, where we can see all servers’ performance along with application performance, but network performance is missing."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"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."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
