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."AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"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."
"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"We are able to spot issues much quicker with the use of the out-of-the-box metrics given to us by CA. But we also develop that further with the use of the EPA Agent and expand what we can give and show the business by creating our own scripts. This has allowed us to develop our own self-monitoring and before anybody else sees the issue we are on hand to solve that as quickly as possible."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"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."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"Support could be much better."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"The reports are a key part of APM in my vision because it is through them that we manage to generate the evidence to direct the development team and operational support to address. However, we can not extract the information of the tool through reports. We have needed several times to use screen print screen, CTRL + C and CTRL + V."
