SolarWinds AppOptics vs. Velocimetrics

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.

Velocimetrics can be used for analytics of orders and payments. It can track and analyse the real-time performance of every single trade or payment traversing business critical processes, with immediate access to predictive analytics. It also helps in trading and many options available for analytics with different data with accuracy and with clear information.

• Request tracing with code profiling.
• Automated alerting on latency and response codes for each API.
• Low resource overhead while collecting data from our application servers.
• Highly performant dashboard that enables us to make progress rapidly.
• Very resilient. We have not seen a downtime in their service in the entire year that we have used them.
• Identify database and cache requests that are taking longer than expected

• 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.

As far a usability is concerned for AppOptics, it is just as matter of few minutes away even if you start from scratch, as all you need to do is register on the site and you will get the URL and password. And after this all you have to do is follow the instruction, as per the configuration wizard (tool tip) within the console for various technology such as SQL, IIS, .NET

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.

What we found positive in AppOptics from others is:

• Easy to install and manage.
• Various stack support.
• Point to point deep-dive metrics and correlation.
• Metrics like DB connection, query analysis, latency in API calls, and other connections, response codes for various APIs, etc are the key ones in our case, which AppOptics provides efficiently.
• Alerts can be sent on different channels.
