We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, and CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] 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.
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"AppDynamics provides us with detailed information about the performance of the underlying infrastructure, including servers, databases, and external services."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"We previously had an operations team continuously monitoring applications. Now, they just have set things up and our developers can monitor, view, and act on them, accordingly."
"It is a stable solution."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"The deployment was easy."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"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."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"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 reports are a key part of APM in my vision because it is through them that we manage to generate the evidence to direct the development team and operational support to address. However, we can not extract the information of the tool through reports. We have needed several times to use screen print screen, CTRL + C and CTRL + V."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
