User-friendly initial setup, reliable, and effective wireless intrusion prevention
ExtremeAnalytics is used for reporting and monitoring The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention. ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as…
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights
Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"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 AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"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."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
 

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"I am not very impressed with support. The service could be better."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"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."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
"There is no standard license instead, the license is adapted to the organization's requirements."
"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later.​"
"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
