We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Instabug based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile APM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"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 most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"The product makes it very easy to reproduce issues."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"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."
"This solution is expensive."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"The end users were not able to report bugs."
"It would be beneficial if the tool could be more precise in capturing steps, focusing only on the relevant ones. For example, there were some times when it caught some extra screenshots which were not included in the steps. Sometimes, it also happened that it got some extra steps that were not in there to reproduce the bug. We also called that screenshot and the steps there as well."
