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

"The ability to deep dive into the root cause of any given issue has always been the most valuable feature."
"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."
"When it was stable, Trending Reports and Response Time Distribution were valuable features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"The CA UIM is a very solid product; we love the simplicity of the robots and the agent installation and upgrading, because you can just do it right at your central station without rebooting the remote workstations or servers."
"Service maturity when you can retrieve the normal metrics for every major aspect of each module and delivering this info to the correct eyes."
"It largely reduces turnaround time from application failure, and has reduced man hours in managing availability, performance, and scaling applications."
"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."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
 

Cons

"Application performance in terms of transactions is a bit slow and could be quicker."
"They tried to streamline the organization, that was the initial point of using APM. It led to so many internal changes, but it didn’t affect the organization much at all in the end."
"Introscope scalability performance lags behind for our team, which looks after 3,000 JVMs and millions of metrics."
"End-to-end visibility of transactions in complex environments is not always satisfactory (for instance, transactions crossing OSB)."
"The documentation on customizing instrumentation of methods and classes (derivative files) could be improved, as well as some of the documentation interfacing into other APM products (ADA, CEM, ABA)."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"The way the product itself is it allows you to identify a problem area but not exactly tell what the problem is."
"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

"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"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."
