Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"The most valuable feature in AppDynamics is the identifying of the slow responses. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"I like how the AppDynamics dashboard portrays the information flows. When a task is executed, various flows between different applications and databases happen in the background. The dashboard is intuitive and helps visualize the connections, the directions of the flow, and the information related to these specific sessions."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"The way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"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."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"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."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"There could be some improvement in the constructions of the diagrams, it is too difficult currently."
"This solution is expensive."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The technical support is very poor."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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 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."
