AppDynamics vs Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals

• Integration with multiple frameworks (Java, NodeJS, .NET, etc). Good database monitoring tool as well as end-user and synthetic user monitoring tool.
• Works great for on-premise and is always maturing and keeping up with industry trends.
• It's been in Garter's Leader Quad for years now.
• Very intuitive web UI and IT, Mgmt, QA, Devs, and Ops could easily use it.

• Transaction tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable.
• Support for PHP, DB, and other applications need to be supported. We have a broad range of applications that we would like visibility into but the list of currently supported applications is very small.
• 9/10 - We had a couple of issues that required opening up tickets. The Riverbed support engineers usually resolve issues in a timely manner.

• SaaS is developed prior, then on-premise. We have reasons to need all of it on premise. They stay in step pretty well, and will fulfill promises to deliver. Sometimes, a new functionality is available only in SaaS until it's available for on-premise (2-8 months later depending)
• It's not a real-time monitoring solution. There's a 90 second delay. That wasn't a problem for me, but I had a few that had issue with that.

• App Dynamics should try to find some measure of support or functionality in an SAP and People soft environments - however with the introduction of C++ agents - the People Soft realm will be covered shortly.
• Additional support for next-gen mobile platforms also needs to be high on the roadmap prioritization.

• No noticeable ROI as such but that's mainly down to our application type. E-Commerce organisations and similar would benefit hugely.
• Did provide us early visibility of failing calls which got stuck in a loop and spammed some of our servers.
• Positive impact in terms of highlighting slow running queries.

• This product has really wonderful features and one of the most valuable ones is the transaction searches into TTW.
• This will show you the operations that occurred under conditions that the user specifies, giving you the opportunity to drill down on the things that are more important and affecting system performance.
• Besides that, the capability of analyzing each individual transaction captured to a very low-level detail (method call/line of code). This ability empowers the testing teams to provide more visibility to developers on how they can improve.
