We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, 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."I have found the main feature of the solution to be its ability to analyze an application's code to see where there are issues. Additionally, it is easy to use and configure."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"The real user monitoring helps us evaluate our customers' real experiences, which is valuable as an eCommerce company."
"That visual representation’s been really good, also the overhead that AppDynamics creates is quite small. We've tried Dynatrace in the past. Some of the applications didn't work as well with Dynatrace."
"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."
"I like that AppDynamics allows every organization to have what they want to see, like for my organization, we're able to customize the dashboard to show us details of what we want to see in our transactions."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"The most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"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."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It's user friendly."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"This solution is expensive."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"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 product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The tool is expensive."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
