"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."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"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."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"It's easy to use."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."
"Google's technical support is very good."

"The initial setup is complex."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"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."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"Support could be much better."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"It could be more stable."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It could be even more automated."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
