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."We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"If a key monitored value has crossed a threshold, it sends out an alert. And the solution is able to intelligently find out if something is beyond the range that it normally resides in."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"The primary selling point of this product is its unparalleled transparency into the infrastructure."
"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"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."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"They need to add support for new frameworks, or at least provide a broader guide/perspectives to add them to monitoring specific agents to retrieve metrics with thresholds as a reference to guide the customer as to where they must go to achieve this."
"The area of improvement is related to the areas of application onboarding and instrumentation, where the product has certain shortcomings."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
