We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: BMC TrueSight Operations Management offers advanced features such as proactive monitoring, an event management tool, and Helix Innovation Studio, in addition to a consolidated dashboard, making it the preferred solution. Although Broadcom DX is easy to deploy and offers code-level visibility, it lacks integration between tools, has performance issues, and needs improvement in support and compatibility. BMC TrueSight Operations Management also has a transparent licensing model, unlike Broadcom DX, which has a monthly licensing fee that some users find expensive.
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"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"
"It's a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"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."
"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"The pricing could be better."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"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."
"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."
"There are several areas that could be improved in Broadcom DX Application Performance Management. One of the main areas is user experience monitoring, which is currently not available. Additionally, they need to develop a solution that is compatible with OpenShift 4, as their current solution only works when an agent is installed within the image, which is not possible in OpenShift 4 as it removes the agent."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
