Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.1
Broadcom DX APM boosts ROI with effective application management, reducing incidents and costs, while enhancing performance and reporting capabilities.
Sentiment score
7.7
LogicMonitor improved cost savings, operational efficiencies, downtime, resource allocation, alert management, productivity, and customer satisfaction with advanced insights and tool consolidation.
Performance management solutions like Broadcom DX Application Performance Management are important for cost reduction and performance reviews.
The return is more of value and savings in preventing costly downtime, making the savings of about $60,000 which we would have lost without LogicMonitor, and in IT staff efficiency, we save approximately 15 hours a week.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Broadcom DX's customer service and technical support are praised for professionalism, expertise, but face criticism for occasional delays.
Sentiment score
7.9
LogicMonitor's customer service is praised for fast responses, knowledgeable staff, 24/7 availability, and effective problem-solving, but varies by location.
It is difficult to access the right person, and incidents sometimes need escalation.
In the early years, we needed support often, but due to accumulated experience with Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, we haven't needed to escalate any issues recently.
Customer support is on point and very well trained.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is scalable, but complex configuration and cost concerns arise with extensive metrics and scalability options.
Sentiment score
7.9
LogicMonitor scales efficiently for thousands of devices, offering automation, role-based access control, and seamless growth with minimal challenges.
The solution does not offer much flexibility in scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Broadcom DX APM is stable with minimal issues, though specific configurations and platforms may present challenges, often resolved by updates.
Sentiment score
8.1
LogicMonitor is highly stable, with minimal downtime, strong alerting features, frequent updates, and high user satisfaction.
 

Room For Improvement

Broadcom DX Application Performance Management requires improvements in cost, integration, support, automation, cloud, dashboards, and monitoring capabilities.
LogicMonitor users seek enhanced monitoring customization, automation, reporting, performance monitoring, and improved alarm, topology, dashboards, and email alert features.
It is also difficult to access the right person in support, and sometimes incidents need to be escalated, taking several contacts to resolve.
Improving the feature set to match competitors like Cisco and Dynatrace would be beneficial.
I wish the user interface would be customizable to allow users to create personal context-specific workspaces to hide irrelevant data, rather than trying to have a one-size-fits-all interface.
 

Setup Cost

Broadcom DX APM is cost-effective initially, but renewals and agent-based licensing can increase expenses in large setups.
LogicMonitor offers competitive pricing at $7.75 per device, with discounts, and justifies its cost through robust functionality.
The challenge arises during annual renewals, as the price increase can be significant, around twenty percent or more, which customers find difficult to understand.
The pricing is in the middle range.
 

Valuable Features

Broadcom DX APM provides real-time insights, proactive issue detection, transaction tracing, and customizable dashboards for enhanced performance management.
Dashboards provide interactive visualization, custom monitoring, robust reporting, and integration with alerts, Google Maps, NetFlow, and AI-driven anomaly detection.
The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is the dashboard, which captures all the traces and generates alerts for performance monitoring.
We have very good dashboards that are very useful for getting all the parameters of the application.
The dynamic alerting and root cause analysis have helped us fix issues before they cause a full-blown outage or degrade performance for end users.

Featured Reviews

MarioGomez - PeerSpot reviewer
Improve application performance management by deploying easy-to-use dashboards but face challenges with support access
The main areas for improvement include making dashboards and interfaces easier to understand. Our version might be a bit old, and we may need to upgrade it. It is also difficult to access the right person in support, and sometimes incidents need to be escalated, taking several contacts to resolve.
Maxwell Miya - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved service reliability and reduced downtime by providing full visibility into infrastructure
I wish the user interface would be customizable to allow users to create personal context-specific workspaces to hide irrelevant data, rather than trying to have a one-size-fits-all interface. This would go a long way, as would introducing a usage-based pricing model for data ingestion, per GB of metrics or logs alongside a device-based model similar to New Relic, which would be more attractive for cloud-native companies with dynamic infrastructure. While dynamic alerting is great, the overall alerting system can be complex to configure. If LogicMonitor looks into going beyond the topology-based correlation to include AI that can group related alerts from different parts of the stack into a single probable cause incident, that will significantly improve the system.
