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.

Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components
Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

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 easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"It helps you get to the root cause much faster when you have issues."
"​Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability.​"
"CA APM is the go-to tool for any performance-related issues."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
 

Cons

"​Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"We aren't getting the value we imagined out of the product."
"The pricing and licensing costs are too high."
"It would be very helpful to have transaction insights with a more transparent configuration."
"Unfortunately, my application is Java version 6, and CA has removed support for Java 6 starting with CA APM, Version 10.5, where the Digital Experience Collector is available."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"CA APM has a steep learning curve as compared to other tools like Dynatrace and especially AppDynamics and New Relic, but in return it is very customization friendly."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"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."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
"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."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
"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."
