ZM
Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.
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 product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"It's good for a larger scale deployment such as what my company is working on."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"The alert mechanism in AppDynamics enhances server management tasks by using agents installed on each server."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its GUI."
 

Cons

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"I am not very impressed with support. The service could be better."
"Installation and configuration can be very tough. An average user without specialized knowledge can't do this. You need to have DevOps and QA teams handle it. During installation, a lot of customers get stuck trying to track the database or the API part, and they have to contact customer support."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
"It does require licensing to be paid."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"Our purchasing experience through the AWS Marketplace has been pretty painless."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring requires a license for database monitoring and other features, while Dynatrace provides monitoring and other features out of the box without additional costs. Sometimes this makes it more challenging to pitch AppDynamics Database Monitoring to customers, especially because you need to buy a separate license. As an implementer, I have yet to learn about the pricing for AppDynamics Database Monitoring. Pricing is taken care of by the sales team."
"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
"There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
