Ask HN: APM tools
What does everyone prefer for Application Management Performance Tools? It seems like New Relic and AppDynamic cater to startups, but I'm wondering how they all compare from a large enterprise level as well. I've used CA's APM suite at a few enterprises, but I've heard good things regarding AppD.
Does anyone have experience in all three? Does anyone have any thoughts on each and where they fit or compare to each other? I'm wondering from both a devops prospective and a sys admin who may need to perform 1st level triage on an application using the tool without much context into how the app works itself.
- ukigumo 12y agoAt enterprise level AppDynamics kicks ass. I think their pre-sales pitch is that it was built thinking of production use first and then adapted to run in dev/test environment while the competition did it the other way around. Not sure if that is the case, but I assure you it's lightweight and has some nice security/confidentiality configuration options which makes it easy to deploy even in highly regulated envs. If you are running a java environment then I would point you at Azul Systems because it's just the dog's bollocks :-) (I'm not in any way associated with AppDynamics or Azul btw, just a happy client)

- APM_Engineer 12y agoThanks for the input. A few application developers were trying to bring it in, so it looked like they geared the pitch towards a devops role. It looked like it had potential in both situations though as you mentioned. I haven't looked at Azul Systems, thanks for mentioning them, I'll take a peek at their offering as well.
