Why Leading Enterprises Choose AppDynamics vs. Dynatrace
AppDynamics is the market leader in execution for application performance management, year after year, helping the largest organizations focus on the insights most important to their business results.
Provides advanced functionality such as Business Journeys, Experience Level Management, and comprehensive end user flows via Experience Journey Maps.
Dynatrace’s approach to business transactions focuses on traditional IT metrics, creating obstacles for Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) to directly map to their organizations’ Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
Provides deep insight into networks regardless of whether they are on-premise or 3rd party SaaS.
Provides limited network insight that is limited to where OneAgent can be installed. The is especially risky as more work loads move to the cloud, relying on the internet as the network.
Provides code-level visibility into SAP ERP and enables the collection of business metrics and system/infrastructure health from SAP.
Despite recent updates, Dynatrace still does not have the ability to provide code-level insight for SAP ERP nor the ability to extract business metrics from that code.
Cisco Full-Stack Observability is built upon a modern, unified platform that is open and extensible. It is designed to ingest and correlate vendor-neutral telemetry data across applications, networks, infrastructure, security, cloud services, including sustainability and business sources.
Dynatrace's platform was built over 10 years ago for monitoring infrastructure. It uses proprietary agents for data collection (open and modern telemetry formats are add-ons) limiting flexibility and coverage.
Offers both detection and protection from vulnerabilities and attacks, as well as the deepest security-related business insights including data security.
Is a newcomer to the security space, offering basic vulnerability identification and crude risk scoring.
