We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Measurement of response time"
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"It's a very stable product."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"The area of improvement is related to the areas of application onboarding and instrumentation, where the product has certain shortcomings."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
