Complex environments are ..... well... complex, and they require a capability that can keep pace. I agree it is no simple task to build DCRUM infra, and the amount of detail required to essentially pluck a single application's packets out from total traffic can be tedious to gather. That said, the latest version has simplified with auto-protocol discovery and all traffic analysis functions. Still have to get SSL keys to really dig into the transaction detail, but it is worth the effort.
