Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"The area of improvement is related to the areas of application onboarding and instrumentation, where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"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."
"There are several areas that could be improved in Broadcom DX Application Performance Management. One of the main areas is user experience monitoring, which is currently not available. Additionally, they need to develop a solution that is compatible with OpenShift 4, as their current solution only works when an agent is installed within the image, which is not possible in OpenShift 4 as it removes the agent."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
