Dashboards facilitate prompt alerts but discovery feature needs enhancement
I would recommend Broadcom DX Application Performance Management if a customer doesn't have any existing performance solution. However, ten years ago, the solution was better, and now there are many competitive options. My overall rating would be between six and seven. The product rating I would give is 6.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of APM is gaining insight into the application performance so we can proactively take actions before the customer calls to report an issue."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"In application performance, it's the best one in the market."
"Measurement of response time"
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"Our organization has over 21,000 agents running, and being able to monitor all those agents at the same time, with the ability to be alerted when thresholds are exceeded, means we can know when we are having problems without having dedicated people to watch monitoring screens all the time."
"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."
"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."
 

Cons

"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."
"Dynamic instrumentation, at the moment, I think it is a bit clunky to use and it should be available outside the transaction tracer."
"It needs better documentation to help make the implementation easier."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"It might be specific to our company, but adoption by the application development community was not easy."
"The installation could be improved. Also, they need to concentrate more on the cloud for cloud monitoring."
"The main areas for improvement include making dashboards and interfaces easier to understand."
"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are expensive."
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"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."
"Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
"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."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
