We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, Dynatrace, and Oracle Enterprise 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."For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"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."
"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"One of the key things with Dynatrace is that they are very open to influence on product development side. So, we've influenced them fairly heavily on development and capabilities for Citrix and DC RUM. They've given us integration and support components around some odd technologies that we've got, and they have always been very open and accommodating to going after and developing capabilities around the stuff that we are looking for."
"Dynatrace shows the customer path, common errors on desktop and mobile, and allows us to achieve faster page loads."
"The solution is multi-tenant and based in Big data technology."
"It has helped us by reducing the number of incidents that we have had in the past."
"We used to rely on multiple operations tools to monitor and obtain bits and pieces. Now, we have it all in a single pane of glass."
"PurePath view of methods and the call stack are extremely valuable for troubleshooting and performance review."
"Dynatrace makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue."
"The OneAgent technology does a brilliant job of simplifying what was earlier one of the pain points in enterprise monitoring."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"It's user friendly."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"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."
"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."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The area of improvement is related to the areas of application onboarding and instrumentation, where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"Perhaps there is a FAQ which explains the metrics and how to interpret them, and I just haven't seen it. This would be beneficial in providing context to allow sharing the daily metrics reported within the company."
"I'd like to see native support, because we're launching native apps in multiple countries so we really want to have a really good feel for how those apps are going and how well they're performing, if there are issues."
"Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude."
"Dynatrace must reduce the required resources for on-premise, because they are too high."
"We called support mostly about implementation issues. Docker was one which was early on and the support structure for Dynatrace. Typically, they were trying to help us figure out third-party applications and where the monitoring agent should be located."
"There are a lot of features that could be added that would make this a very useful solution, but it is getting there."
"In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. "
"The pricing of the product could be improved."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
