Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.
"It's a very stable product."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"Measurement of response time"
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"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."
"Since Appmon has been leveraged, we are now down to just hours (sometimes minutes) in resolution times."
"Finally, we have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform synthetic checks for monitoring sites using click paths."
"It prevents (together with performance testing) production performance issues which usually result in customer complaints or system downtime."
"The triaging is amazing. And at the same time, it provides depth, all the way to what kind of a method, what variables are inside those methods. Without getting too into the technical, the depth it gets to, pinpointing the problematic area - where exactly the problem is happening - is amazing."
"We found Dynatrace is a robust tool which provides pretty good monitoring for a PCF environment"
"It is nice to be able to deep dive and pull historical data."
"The best part of Dynatrace is that the tool is very lightweight and very easy to install."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"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."
"Support could be much better."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"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."
"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."
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"I would like to have something more along the lines of the old DC RUM, because we have lot of clients with old technologies, legacy technology, and we really want to integrate it with Dynatrace so that they can use just one single product. So, it needs better integration with legacy products."
"One thing that I would like to see is for companies like us - large AppMon customers that have a lot of presence in AppMon, a lot of manually configured things and customizations - would be something that would help us be able to make that journey more easily, the transition from to AppMon to Dynatrace."
"AppMon is lacking the AI that can be found in Dynatrace Managed."
"I would like better plugin support, because they are constantly asking us to do plugins, saying "Yeah, we can do that. Use this plugin." Then, the moment something goes wrong with that plugin, I have no way of getting help."
"It would be nice to get the AI piece into AppMon."
"There was complexity to AppMon and getting everything set, but more specifically getting the dashboard setup."
"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."
