We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and Sysdig Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Elastic and others in Container Monitoring."AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"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."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"It provides everything into one view, so we can track information from one place to another."
"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."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"There is a strong user community. There is no need to talk to the technical support, because all the questions which I have had, all the solutions were in the documentation. Or, I have been able to post a question to the user community and get an answer within a day or two."
"Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance."
"Once you are trained on the solution, it's easy to navigate. It's got very good documentation and training offerings."
"We're able to tell them which calls, which methods, which interface were the problem."
"It is a very good APM tool. There is a lot of thorough scanning of services and applications. It has got great monitoring features."
"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. It's exactly what we need. The severity impact is based on the users, the availability, and the impact it has on your business."
"Often, we are busy working on other tasks when something goes wrong with the site. Getting timely alerts is very important to our needs as a business."
"I can get everything on a single page."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The GUI can be overwhelming at first to a novice Dev or Ops support person, and the possible root causes of an issue do not bubble up to the first screen you see."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"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."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"With Linux or Windows, it automatically takes care of everything, so there's no need for you to do any manual config changes. But when it comes to AIX - because I implemented it two weeks back - you have to go back to kind of an AppMon approach, where you instrument agents for .NET applications. So if Dynatrace could make those changes and make it automated, that would be one of the biggest action items."
"The product has no storage."
"To improve in Dynatrace the log analytics, this is the first thing that has to be enabled."
"The extending of Dynatrace with plugins can be better."
"There should be more visibility for network performance monitoring. There should be more metrics for things like 5G and IoT. That would be the main thing because they've moved more to mobile performance rather than fixed networks."
"The AI is not that intelligent and there are different places where it could be even more automated."
"You have got cloning at one level, but it would be nice to have cloning at deeper levels. Or, as you are doing the cloning, it would be nice if you could select different options. Then, you are not having to sit there and build dashboards, and spending a lot of time in the cloning area."
"The web-based UI needs to be improved."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
