We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, and Oracle Enterprise Manager 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.
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"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."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"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."
"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."
"The deployment was easy."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"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."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"This solution is expensive."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"SQL statement monitoring"
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"You can sell licenses and install the full tool on service, you can show customers how to install, but how to use it and solve issues cannot be done without the experience."
"What comes to mind when you speak of a room for improvement in Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is the infrastructure agent, but my company doesn't use it, so I can't say if it's really a problem or not, but it could be the container support or cloud support that could be improved in the solution. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is for it to have one agent for cloud and one agent for legacy, with all features included."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"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."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
