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

"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."
"With this solution all my clients have reduced the number of incidents in production environment, and when they occur the time to solve these incidents has been reduced dramatically."
"For a person with a little bit of technical knowledge it is the best tool on the market to enhance application performance."
"The CA Introscope dashboard of applications is the view our operations team uses to quickly identify any issues within the application space especially during peak trading season like Christmas/Easter."
"Technical support has been pretty good."
"The solution is stable, and I don't recall having any significant performance issues with it."
"In terms of end user experience, it is very useful."
"MTTR has greatly improved, and teams are now better focused on the cause of application performance issues much earlier into any event."
"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."
 

Cons

"They need to add support for new frameworks, or at least provide a broader guide/perspectives to add them to monitoring specific agents to retrieve metrics with thresholds as a reference to guide the customer as to where they must go to achieve this."
"If you will ask me about the general Level 1 support of the CA, and I would give them a two or three out of 10 because it takes a long time to get to them to focus on the program."
"I give it an eight out of 10 because it does not include all the features that I mentioned above, like intelligence."
"The cost of licensing of the product could be better."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
"The one thing that needs improving is the uplift of dashboards capabilities to HTML5 and flash based widgets."
"In short, CA APM is not a tool I would recommend for implementation of self-healing."
"The Transaction Tracing feature can definitely be improved."
"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is 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."
"Broadcom is a better and cheaper option from the financial perspective. It also depends on the DLP plug."
"The pricing structure should be based on memory or CPU usage rather than the number of agents, as it makes the solution more expensive for us."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
