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.

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 solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."

"The most valuable feature is mapping."

"In 2014 and 2015, AppDynamics was one of the best products on the market."

"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."

"It has been stable, scalable and manageable."

"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."

"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."

"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."

"The product is stable and the technical support is good."

"The proactive monitoring from AppDynamics definitely helps."

Cons

"Reporting is sometimes a little slow."

"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."

"At this time, we don't have much visibility on the virtual environment, monitoring, and all other things. We have visibility only for database monitoring, and we have noticed performance impact when deploying database agents on the database server. We got to know this from AppDynamics support also that we should not deploy database agents from the database server. When agents are deployed on the same server and the database is monitored from there, we are not getting database server metrics. Therefore, we don't have those insights, and sometimes, we struggle because of that. They can improve this functionality so that we do not have a performance impact, and we can deploy anywhere. This would help us a lot. In terms of end-user monitoring, currently, it is not working for us because there are some complexities. It is a little complicated, and it takes a little bit of time to understand where you need to make changes. It would be very helpful if they can provide some template designs for end-user monitoring. When our servers are running on VMs, we don't get many insights from the VM side. I don't know whether it is possible to have visibility beyond the database, server, and application and whether there are some features where we can deploy AppDynamics on VMs as well. Such functionality would give us more control over storage, VM, OS, and database. It will also provide complete visibility of our hardware and software."

"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."

"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."

"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."

"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."

"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."

"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."

"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."

"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."

"As a technical person, and as an application development team, they all understand that this is the right tool for us. But when it comes to budget and financial matters, it takes days and weeks to convince upper management to buy this tool. So they should do something more on licensing costs."

"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."

"The tool is expensive."

"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."

"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."

"The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
