Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is Proactive Monitoring and Alerting."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is its ability to track the transactions between different applications."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Cross-platform business transaction tracing supports the ability to monitor end-to-end performance across the stack, providing granular insight into customer experience KPIs, which are a critical success factor for organizations."
"The way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"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."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"The deployment was easy."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
"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 interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
