We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database 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 product is stable and the technical support is good."
"What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"Cross-platform business transaction tracing supports the ability to monitor end-to-end performance across the stack, providing granular insight into customer experience KPIs, which are a critical success factor for organizations."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Now, we know we have a problem, because there is a primary layer of alerting or metrics monitoring put in place, that is the good part."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"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."
"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 upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
