"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"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."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"It's a very stable product."
"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."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Since Appmon has been leveraged, we are now down to just hours (sometimes minutes) in resolution times."
"The real user experience monitoring is very helpful. We can see what real users are seeing, what JavaScript errors, what pages are very slow for them. As well, it helps to correlate the front-end users to the back-end application components, and the corresponding Method which is failing, as well. We are able to go to the correct spot and fix the issue."
"It helps to show where the problem is and isolates the issue."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Helps in managing capacity planning, services performance, and tuning database performance and optimizing queries."
"With PurePath, I am able to find the root cause of the error or bug existing in our system."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"The Dashboard is very useful, as you can monitor different parameters on the same screen."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"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."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"I did like the old dashboards, the legacy 6.3 for example; the way we were able to do the dashboarding in the client. I would like to be able to see that in the new version of Dynatrace."
"This solution needs better support for security and monolithic batch processes."
"It could improve its GUI interface. The GUI design is too crowded and the icons are small. Sometimes I end up clicking on the wrong button."
"As we move into using more AWS native architectures, it should support everything that we want to do. We don't want to adopt another tool."
"I would like the ability to export a user session into csv format. (I am aware that I can export a user session via a webhook)."
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."
"We'd like it to be more user-friendly, which, in our case, might be a big ask as we have a fairly complex environment."
"While designing the business dashboard, I encountered various bugs that impacted my work."
