Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc.""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.""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument.""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.""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."

"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues.""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.""The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows.""It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies.""I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable.""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.""Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error.""Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."

Cons
"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 recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.""Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""The technical support is not very good and should be improved.""They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""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."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Cons →

"They can make it easier to configure.""The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect.""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 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.""Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current.""Needs custom dashboards.""Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed.""Very often, we use tools such as Kibana or Jaspersoft for dashboards and reporting on CA APM data because CA APM’s old interfaces do not reflect well in modern displays, compared to those new tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
  • More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Depends on the size of the product you need."
  • "Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
  • "There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
  • "Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
  • "Pricing and licensing are not issues."
  • "On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
  • "Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
  • "Dynatrace is the most expensive of these tools followed by AppDynamics which is "medium-expensive." CA APM is a bit lower in price than either Dynatrace or AppDynanics... In my opinion, if you can afford it, go for AppDynamics instead of CA APM."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. “ A Peerspot user who is an Applications Engineer at a financial services firm.

    “The most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process.” A.Jurisic, CEO at Pio Pet d.o.o.

    “What is most valuable about this solution is that it completely monitors code-level visibility. We benefit from this as we're able to capture any performance issues from an application, then raise and forward those issues to the applicable team more quickly.” S. Doddi, APM consultant at Tech Mahindra Limited
