We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"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 solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The technical support is very poor."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
