Broadcom DX Application Performance Management Pricing
The pricing structure should be based on memory or CPU usage rather than the number of agents, as it makes the solution more expensive for us.
The pricing structure is too high and becomes increasingly expensive as the number of agents increases. It is more costly than other solutions, especially if you have a large data center that needs to be monitored or when you are using a container.

Go ahead and buy CA Professional Services, but expect CA to continue asking for additional purchases to deliver on committed APM functionality. Their APM solution is already one of the most expensive, and the extra spend should give you enough weight to get what you've paid for - support without hidden price tags.
View full review »Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it.

I'm unable to give information on Broadcom DX Application Performance Management licensing costs, but all Application Performance Management products have expensive pricing. This means that it's not only Broadcom that's expensive, and it would be an advantage if the cost would be a little bit cheaper.
View full review »Pricing is not my area because I am a technical developer, technical engineer who coordinates the different teams but I know the pricing.
It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment. We can't really compare with other solutions.
View full review »Two full time employees are needed to manage the whole operation, which covers all production environments and two test environments.

If you can get a SME to architect and install then definitely go that route vs the vendor itself. There are upside to having the vendor due to the fact that they have access to unlimited resources for assistance.
View full review »We have an ELA with CA APM and it is very competitive with their competitors from that perspective.
View full review »Broadcom is a better and cheaper option from a financial perspective. It also depends on the DLP plug.

Dynatrace is the most expensive of these tools followed by AppDynamics which is "medium-expensive." Both CA APM vs Dynatrace and CA APM vs AppDynamics are a bit lower in price. Because of this, our clients insist on using CA APM.
In my opinion, if you can afford it, go for AppDynamics instead of CA APM. But if our customers don't have the budget, we'll go with CA APM.
We have a comparison chart showing the license costs for AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and CA APM and other monitoring tools as well. We provide that information to our clients along with the advantages and disadvantages of a particular tool. We provide our opinion on which it is best to go with but we also listen to our clients' opinions. We discuss this at length to finally come up with a decision on which tool to go with.

Our customers are satisfied and there is no complaining about the price. All discounts are given case by case to accommodate the client's budgets. Setup is not expensive because projects are relatively short in man/days.
View full review »I personally don’t deal with the pricing and licensing, so I don’t have anything to offer here.
View full review »The price is high and the licensing is restrictive.
View full review »This is not something I deal with, but off-hand comments seem to indicate that it is more expensive than expected.
View full review »We had a strategy that we realised over a period of 10 years which means that we introduced certain elements piece by piece, we did not deploy all at one go. It is however a very expensive outlay and I am currently reviewing the strategy due to our annual maintenance that is becoming very expensive.

View full review »The license for Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is annual. The licensing model could improve because there is not any limit to deploying the agent, there should be some limits on it.

The solution uses a subscription-based model.
The pricing could be better. From the perspective of a value proposition, what I'm expecting from products that I'm not getting. That makes us assume that the pricing is high.
There aren't additional costs beyond the main licensing fee.

Any company has its own needs we are not able to give any advice other than to make sure it fits your needs.

View full review »You need to think cost versus benefit. It is an investment and can address almost any application issues within many IT environments.
View full review »The good thing about licensing is that you only pay for the application serving machines you monitor. That means that all other backend servers come for free – stuff like your RDBMS, NoSQL databases, search servers (lucene, solr, elasticsearch), cache servers (memcached), etc.
