We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, Dynatrace, and OpenText Diagnostics 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.
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"It provides us a reference for being able to go back and look at data at a certain point, analyze it, then determine if something was the root cause."
"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."
"RCA (Root Cause Analysis) and the PurePaths, where you can see the stack trace, are helpful in finding problems."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can drill down to the code level and get a breadth of information."
"The solution is amazing, it does well when you need to use it."
"It allows you to better utilize and focus your talent, and tell management that you are not only looking at problems, but how you can ultimately make the product better for the end user."
"Our development group has started using Dynatrace extensively. It helps them find bottlenecks caused by code."
"Provides more visibility into applications."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"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."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"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."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"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)."
"Addition of more statistical features, plus different time series modeling techniques, would really help for future versions."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"The AI is not that intelligent and there are different places where it could be even more automated."
"The reporting could be better."
"It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
