We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"It's a very stable product."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"The deployment was easy."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"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 APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
