We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: BMC TrueSight Operations Management offers advanced features such as proactive monitoring, an event management tool, and Helix Innovation Studio, in addition to a consolidated dashboard, making it the preferred solution. Although Broadcom DX is easy to deploy and offers code-level visibility, it lacks integration between tools, has performance issues, and needs improvement in support and compatibility. BMC TrueSight Operations Management also has a transparent licensing model, unlike Broadcom DX, which has a monthly licensing fee that some users find expensive.
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The most beneficial part of the product in terms of IT monitoring revolves around the areas involving automation, and it also serves as an end-to-end event management and incident management tool."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"The deployment was easy."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"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."
"The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"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."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Support could be much better."
