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."What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"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."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"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."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"Measurement of response time"
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"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."
"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."
