Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"The CA tools allow to me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions. It also gathers data. Some other tools may be good at one area, but not good overall, including the mainframe."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"Support could be much better."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
