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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"The solution helps us with performance testing by enabling us to monitor applications."
"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its GUI."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
 

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."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective."
"It does require licensing to be paid."
"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."
"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"There were no added costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."
"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."
