We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"Now, we know we have a problem, because there is a primary layer of alerting or metrics monitoring put in place, that is the good part."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"The initial setup is complex."
