Optimizing user experience through comprehensive monitoring and real-time analytics
Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience. It identifies slow applications, system bottlenecks, and offers network and latency analytics to detect network congestion and connection issues. It enhances the security of Citrix environments by providing valuable security insights. It integrates well with Splunk and Elastic Stack to provide real-time analytics. Additionally, it is useful for tracking Citrix log-ons and determining where delays are happening.
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

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience."
"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."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"We switched to AppDynamics for its capabilities."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
 

Cons

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring currently does not have its own database and requires dependency on products like Splunk or Elastic Stack for visualization."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"I don't really use AI-powered anomaly detection and root cause analysis for diagnosing performance issues because it makes many mistakes in my case, due to the nature of my work."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"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."
"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."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring's pricing as seven out of ten. Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."
"There is a license to use this solution. However, the clients pay for the licenses we are the service provider."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring does have licensing cost associated with it."
"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."
"The pricing for AppDynamics is expensive, but it is possible to negotiate special pricing through bids."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
"The pricing for AppDynamics Server Monitoring in Africa and the Middle East is too expensive, so it's very hard to sell it to customers. If there could be different pricing or package for the region, that would be great. My company pays for the license of AppDynamics Server Monitoring on a per-agent, per-server basis. It's $700 to $1000 per server, and it's paid annually. My company is on a subscription model for the solution. On a scale of one to five, where one is expensive and five is cheap, my rating for the price of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a two."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
