We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and OpenText Diagnostics 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.
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"Command center is a new feature that provides agent maintenance and support without involving the application team. It saves lots of time for APM team."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"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 GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
