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.

I use JenniferSoft to monitor the performance and transaction traces of our applications The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to divide the authorization of users because a lot of the people in our organization have different authorizations. The dashboard is a valuable…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to see errors in the code that users would experience and then give that information to our developers to troubleshoot."
"SLAs and User Experience improved (most of all- User Experience / Application performance) You can fix complex incidents with a quick look at the dashboards (CA dashboards or your custom dashboards) You can easily be proactive and can help to save departments a lot of time."
"If you have a large web firm or a group of servers, it does a great job of aggregating performance metrics into single viewable graphs or dashboards."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"It is great product with lots of features that help minimize the time taken to troubleshoot issues and root cause analysis to avoid loss of business."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"We look forward to new features, because as technology grows we look to incorporate some of that newer technology in our monitoring solutions as well."
"This solution gives feedback exactly the way that we need it with data specific to tasks, timelines, and analyses."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Technical support is 7/10. It needs to be more proactive."
"The Transaction Tracing feature can definitely be improved."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
"Support for more programming languages and a complete fusion with the Customer Experience Management product because the product needs an appliance to get the user experience."
"The web-view is a good app that needs to be improved."
"It takes a long time to get it set up and configured in your applications and running."
"Upgradability to it is a project instead of a patch. If it was actually an automated process to where it just fed updates to our product that would be great. Now, we have to spin up an effort to actually upgrade the solution."
"Issues with the workstation interface which could be more productive."
"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is annual. The licensing model could improve because there is not any limit to deploying the agent, there should be some limits on 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."
"Broadcom is a better and cheaper option from the financial perspective. It also depends on the DLP plug."
"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."
"I'm unable to give information on Broadcom DX Application Performance Management licensing costs, but all Application Performance Management products have expensive pricing. This means that it's not only Broadcom that's expensive, and it would be an advantage if the cost would be a little bit cheaper."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
