Pros
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications.""The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process.""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.""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.""The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""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.""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 most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process.""An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution.""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.""I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable.""This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through.""We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems.""Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues.""​Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability.​"

Cons
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""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.""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 ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.""The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] Cons →

"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory.""The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics.""User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical.""Needs custom dashboards.""The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first.​""Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly.""Java Console uses too much memory.""Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."

  • "Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
  • "Pricing and licensing are not issues."
  • "On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
