We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and Instana Dynamic APM 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."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."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"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."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"Very often, we use tools such as Kibana or Jaspersoft for dashboards and reporting on CA APM data because CA APM’s old interfaces do not reflect well in modern displays, compared to those new tools."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
