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

"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"Some of the things that are starting to be interesting is being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring, and the technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"It's a very stable product."
"What's most valuable about this solution is that it completely monitors code-level visibility."
"The most valuable feature of APM is gaining insight into the application performance so we can proactively take actions before the customer calls to report an issue."
"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."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"It was complex configuring the service transactions from CEM."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"Everything needs to be configured manually, which is pretty bad, it's not good."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The technical support is very poor."
"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."
"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
"The licensing costs are expensive."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
"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."
"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."
