We performed a comparison between AppPulse Suite [EOL] and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"The deployment was easy."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"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."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"Support could be much better."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
