We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, Dynatrace, and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.
"Service maturity when you can retrieve the normal metrics for every major aspect of each module and delivering this info to the correct eyes."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"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."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"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."
"The APM tool allows us to monitor performance of that application, where are the pain points, where are the slowdowns, to focus on where we can fix those."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"Dynatrace helps to build business and non-business dashboards and the appropriate alarming on mail groups."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"Gives systems back-end visibility, allows for proactive monitoring, and improves the user's experience."
"The benefit for our company is that we have one direction and one main solution."
"The most valuable feature is, I can quickly go to the PurePath and find the problem in the application. I can say that it provides me a way by which I can quickly find the root cause of the problem."
"Helps us to see the troubleshooting points or what is hiccuping. This is where we go. We reboot, fix it, or do whatever it takes for it to be taken care of."
"From the monitoring perspective, the ability to triage quickly is important, and the ability to alert and tell people where the problem is."
"It gives complete stats of the user and what they are doing."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Our environment is very complicated anyway, so the initial setup was a bit of a struggle, but only because we have so many applications and JVMs that we have been working on for long time."
"It would help if Dynatrace allowed more features that work with metrics like Grafana or New Relic."
"It needs a dashboard for cluster events in general, and for Kubernetes specifically."
"It needs a better way to figure out how to dig deeper into the details, e.g., sometimes we have to wade through multiple logs, etc."
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
"While designing the business dashboard, I encountered various bugs that impacted my work."
"Dynatrace could be improved by having a fully functional applications and infrastructure monitoring feature. Their existing stack, which is SNMP-based, does not have full infrastructure monitoring, whereas if we compare it with other solutions like New Relic or Datadog, they have moved into infrastructure monitoring. The second improvement I would suggest is in regards to the cost. So far, Dynatrace is the most expensive APM that we sell, even compared to New Relic. I think they can improve a little bit in terms of the license pricing."
"Infrastructure monitoring could be improved."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
