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.
"It has improved my organization because we are able to proactively and reactively look at performance issues."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"Being able to install it on-prem and monitor our on-prem infrastructure is important for us... Most of our infrastructure is on-prem. We have highly scalable systems and AppDynamics will help us monitor our load on-prem. Our systems range from simple to the most complex and it gives us the visibility across transactions, in one dashboard."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"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."
"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."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"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."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"It's a very stable product."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"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."
"The cloud licensing needs to be improved. It's quite pricey."
"There are too many installers available for this solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"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 one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"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."
"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."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"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."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"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 APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"The technical support is very poor."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
