We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL], Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, and Instana Dynamic APM 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 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."
"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."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"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."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"It's a very stable product."
"The deployment was easy."
"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use."
"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"Instana is very fast to implement and deploy because the dashboards are automated and don't need configuration."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"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."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"Support could be much better."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
