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."Service maturity when you can retrieve the normal metrics for every major aspect of each module and delivering this info to the correct eyes."
"With the new feature CA Team Center is much easier to view the information of my user experience, with this unified vision, it was even practical for lay users to use the tool"
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The time it takes to track problems in applications is the most valuable return that we have from this solution."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"Now, we know we have a problem, because there is a primary layer of alerting or metrics monitoring put in place, that is the good part."
"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 is a stable solution."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"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."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."
"Support could be much better."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"The area of improvement is related to the areas of application onboarding and instrumentation, where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"Many managers, as well as our customers, used to ask for reports, such as "top X number of queries that are slow," or "top pages that have the highest number of issues." This is something that can be improved by Instana. Currently, they don't have that kind of reporting available out-of-the-box."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
