We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, AppPulse Suite [EOL], and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management 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.
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"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."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"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 easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"Measurement of response time"
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"I’d like to see better out-of-the-box visual reporting so that we can roll this up to management."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."
"The Log Analytics feature is a bit complicated."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"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."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"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."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The initial setup is complex."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
