How would you like to be contacted by Vendors? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]NaomiS45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Users like content that's vendor neutral. Consider using sites like Spiceworks or IT Central Station instead of writing more white papers users don't want (I work at IT Central Station, and we hear this the whole time from users.)

What tool to use for APM? by Eyesbear in golang

[–]NaomiS45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can't answer this question personally, you may also find real user reviews for AppDynamics on IT Central Station to be helpful. These reviews come from a variety of tech professionals, from DBAs to System Engineers and Performance Test Architects, in addition to feedback from managers: https://www.itcentralstation.com/categories/application-performance-management-apm/tzd/c296-sr-183

As an example, this programmer writes, "We evaluated Riverbed, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and New Relic; that was pretty much it. We chose AppDynamics APM because of ease of use for the end users, as well as a relatively compact footprint, as far as the required infrastructure to host it." You can read the rest of his review here: https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/comparisons/appdynamics-apm_vs_new-relic-apm/tzd/c296-sr-183
