We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, Dynatrace, and OpenText Diagnostics 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."Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"The deployment was easy."
"We like the alerting feature. For example, my applications are going out on some thresholds. So I get alerts, according to the thresholds I set. I get that data via emails as notifications."
"Being able to drill down into the PurePaths to get to a solution is key for us."
"We have identified some critical issues, which are not available or recreatable in the Dev or QA environment."
"It prevents (together with performance testing) production performance issues which usually result in customer complaints or system downtime."
"We are able to prevent the major downtimes by proactive monitoring alerts."
"Enables me to proactively understand the user experience on our site."
"Dynatrace is a powerful tool for full stack monitoring with APM capabilities and AI root cause problem analysis. This helps our customers with their digital transformation and gaining insight into their infrastructure."
"This tool enables us to make intelligent, fact-based decisions faster."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"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 stability could be more reliable."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"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."
"This solution needs improvement in terms of automation."
"The problem evaluation feature is an awesome idea, but bit difficult to pick up initially."
"I would like them to add serverless capabilities, because everyone is going there."
"This solution needs better support for security and monolithic batch processes."
"There are a lot of features that could be added that would make this a very useful solution, but it is getting there."
"It does not have mature enough dashboards."
"I am unable to use Synthetic to automate user login."
"Add support for Ruby."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
