We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, and CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] 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.
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"It is a stable solution."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The UI could use a little help."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"Support could be much better."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
"The user interface needs improvement."
