Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability.
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."
"With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"We really like the scalability capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"The AppDyniamics technical support is good. We haven't had any problems with them. They answer very quickly."
"The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"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 features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"We use it to create dashboards and executive view dashboards, so our higher up managers can take a look and see where our application status stands."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"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."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"The UI could use a little help."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"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."
"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."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
