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."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."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"The best features of AppDynamics would be the code application monitoring capabilities."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly. It looks nice, and it's easy to sell the solution to the stakeholders when we can visualize how the website is working. For example, where we have any problems through visual analytics."
"The solution helps us provide a better user experience to our customers."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"The deployment was easy."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"I like that it's stable."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"Very often, we use tools such as Kibana or Jaspersoft for dashboards and reporting on CA APM data because CA APM’s old interfaces do not reflect well in modern displays, compared to those new tools."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"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."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The solution is considered expensive."
