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.

Regarding Savision Live Maps's AI capabilities, I think accuracy was pretty good, as it gave most of the information that we were able to validate, so it's all good. The advice I would give to others looking into using Savision Live Maps is that I think it's a good product; it's a new thing, and the AI capabilities are obviously improving every day, so I'm looking forward to more improvements and more use cases, and hopefully we can scale it in different departments and for different projects. I gave Savision Live Maps a rating of 8 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

"Detailed alert settings give more control on when they should or should not appear."
"The solution is very stable."
"Support from CA has been really, really phenomenal."
"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."
"The ability to deep dive into the root cause of any given issue has always been the most valuable feature."
"The mean time to resolve has reduced dramatically since we started using CA APM Introscope."
"The most valuable feature for us with APM is the depth to which you can go into the actual instances that are occurring."
"I like APM because it is a complete solution that helps the production environment to identify the root cause of problems before affecting the application or services."
"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."
"Savision Live Maps has impacted my organization positively because it helps visually represent nodes and understand dependencies, which helps us understand breakages and issues in production."
 

Cons

"Yes, we encountered issues with scalability inside Team Center, a massive amount of universes, perspectives, applications."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"There are a lot of improvements to be done."
"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."
"We ran into all kinds of problems and most of it was because of just the onboarding as our new-product education was a huge issue."
"Customer Service: Poor-fair Technical Support: Poor-fair"
"It should be more user-friendly, especially the CEM part and the agent instrumentation."
"Initial setup was very hard due to lack of proper phrasing and instructions in manuals."
"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

"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"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."
"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."
"Broadcom is a better and cheaper option from the financial perspective. It also depends on the DLP plug."
"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
