We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, BMC TrueSight Operations Management, and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.
"Applications: This provides us insight into how our applications are performing within our environments and affords us the ability to identify opportunities and make changes to code / environment to effect positive performance lift."
"The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"It is a very stable product."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"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."
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"Its resiliency can be improved. We're told that the best we can do with an on-prem solution is to have a hot standby that requires a manual switchover. So, it is a do-it-yourself Ikea model of maintaining data consistency between two servers, without having low balance or failover considerations for an on-prem solution."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The pricing could be better."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The reports are a key part of APM in my vision because it is through them that we manage to generate the evidence to direct the development team and operational support to address. However, we can not extract the information of the tool through reports. We have needed several times to use screen print screen, CTRL + C and CTRL + V."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is very poor."
