Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.
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 IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"We have found the scalability to be quite good."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"The most valuable feature is the flow map."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"Reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"Product-wise, everything is good, but the main concern is the extensions and their documentation, particularly for the installation of Azure app services."
"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 solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."
"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
"The tool is expensive."
"AppDynamics does not usually do monthly payments. They do it on an annual basis, at the very least."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"This price of this product is expensive."
"AppDynamics is one of the most expensive solutions on the market."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
