We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, 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."AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"The release management capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's a very stable product."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"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 of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"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."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"They are using Flash for their website, which is very slow. We had hoped the website would be much faster to use, and that is definitely what we want to see."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"Their agents sometimes claim to be very lightweight, especially with databases, but they are very heavy. They can take up more compute than the actual work that we need to do."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"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 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."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Upgradability to it is a project instead of a patch. If it was actually an automated process to where it just fed updates to our product that would be great. Now, we have to spin up an effort to actually upgrade the solution."
"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."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
