Master Player just Born
SolarWinds AppOptics is being analysed to be used as a potential Cloud Services Monitoring tool - and on a side note, also being analysed on how effectively AppOptics can be leveraged to to APM things such as AppDynamics and Dynatrace does. So we are proposing SolarWinds AppOptics to our client as the new technology monitoring tool for cloud infra, primarily.

- AppDynamics and Dynatrace
Everyone used to know the names of AppDynamics and Dynatrace when it comes to APM or Application Tracing Monitoring. Since these tools were the evolver of this particular technology, I still believe that these tools are the market player. But SolarWinds AppOptics is not less, and it is becoming a good competitor with less cost and same features in the market. Also as we have seen SolarWinds Development team has done brilliant in learning the users requirement and evolving their products that make more trust in SolarWinds AppOptics.
Yes
AppOptics is a competitive APM i.e. Application Performance Management and Cloud Resources monitoring solution and due to its low cost as compared to other product it is a great choice when it only concerns the Applications, Code Level Monitoring, End-User Monitoring along with AWS and Azure cloud resources monitoring. Some products which were replaced by AppOptics are Dynatrace due to Cost, AppDynamics due to Cost, Datadog due to capability etc.

A Great Product for an Affordable Price.
We currently utilize SolarWinds AppOptics for both infrastructure and application performance monitoring. We mainly use it to see application errors, and locate any issues that cause other than optimal performance in the application. We provide the information gathered from SolarWinds AppOptics to our application support/development/configuration management and database administration teams to take corrective action on what may be causing the errors or other than optimal performance. SolarWinds AppOptics is an affordable solution to monitoring your application's performance.
- Identifies errors experienced by our end users.
- Locates application errors.
- Provides insight into our end users' overall application experience.
- Allows us to know that our application performance monitoring solutions is in good hands.
- Not applicable.
- SolarWinds AppOptics is a solid, affordable product on par with other APMs I've used in the past.

How AppOtics make our life easier
I mostly use AppOptics to monitor our website performances, response time, status code, etc. How is the loading time distributed between servers, databases, and caches? Is one of our services spiking for some reason? We use it to focus our attention on pages that need to be optimized to improve the user experience. It also helps us to focus on what needs to be optimized.
- Monitoring services.
- Detect service failures.
- Helps pinpoint problems in our website.
- 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.

- Allows us to detect failures really quick.
- Allows us to really focus on what's important to optimize our website.
AppOptics is way more user friendly than Kibana. When you first log in to AppOptics, you have the information you need very easily while Kibana takes a lot of learning before getting your first results. Kibana almosts requires the help of developers and technicians to learn how to use it and setting it up.

As a developer I can only recommend the use of AppOptics. I wasn't included in the decision process to purchase AppOptics, but now that I've used it, I can only recommend it to everyone.

Cost-effective, easy to use and sufficiently detailed APM
We use the APM for a single department so far. It helps us dig into performance degradation events of our java web services.
- Compares performance to previous day/week.
- Shows detail of traced requests including DB queries and cache calls.
- Performs quickly and has little lag time between reported detail.
- Report filtering could be more powerful.
- Date comparison options like 4 weeks ago instead of 1 month.

- Faster turnaround time during performance events.
- Improve efficiency of services lowering resource usage.
Yes
Stackify APM because it could not keep up with our traffic of around 50rps without lagging metrics by 5-15 minutes. AppOptics remains fast and up to date within a minute.
