SolarWinds AppOptics vs. TeleMate

AppOptics is good for small to medium-sized organizations with less than 150 servers or less than 40 services to monitor. It performs well for this use case where people need to get an overview of application performance, and 95%ile data is okay. Somewhere every data point and every record is critical; it should be avoided.

TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics shines with reports that can be set up to run daily, weekly, or monthly and offer an excellent point of view for the data and visually pleasing graphs. Critical day-to-day live data can easily be shared with web link(s) to users that do not have access to run or create their own reports. I would say Predictive UC Analytics application is probably not suitable for smaller organization where the deployment-implementation costs might not offer the best ROI for them.

• SolarWinds AppOptics has an easy to use and fast interface. Thus, you can use time more efficiently.

• The support we get from the team is excellent. They are always improving and if there is something we need they jump right on it and try to find a solution for us.
• They are always improving on the product and if they see there is an issue before we do they contact us.
• The product is easy to use, very user friendly interface.
• Many features in the product that we have not even begun to touch on.

• The only thing that I would add is the possibility to display every single query our servers receive to eventually analyze them and query through them. We could also generate nice visualizations from that. Right now I believe we can only see averages.

AppOptics has performed well for all of the major functions we have needed it for. Especially when it comes to tracking down response time issues and researching app performance for different pages and different times of day we have been able to do everything we need to. We know there are some more advanced features that could help us in more niche areas, but haven't had the time to delve deeper into using or setting them up.

Solarwinds AppOptics is rated as 9 out of 10 and the reason is there are still few areas where AppOptics needs to improve such as Service Now Integration, GCP Cloud Support, Better Dashboard visualization for application transactions flow. Other than these feature everything is there in AppOptics and that's a reason given 9 points out of 10.
