We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL], 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.
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"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 solution has a very good business event manager 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."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"We are able to spot issues much quicker with the use of the out-of-the-box metrics given to us by CA. But we also develop that further with the use of the EPA Agent and expand what we can give and show the business by creating our own scripts. This has allowed us to develop our own self-monitoring and before anybody else sees the issue we are on hand to solve that as quickly as possible."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"Measurement of response time"
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"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."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"Upgradability to it is a project instead of a patch. If it was actually an automated process to where it just fed updates to our product that would be great. Now, we have to spin up an effort to actually upgrade the solution."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
