We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and Instana Dynamic APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"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."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"The deployment was easy."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"It is a stable solution."
"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."
"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
