"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"We make custom dashboards for our development areas so they can understand how busy traffic affects their application with traffic. They can see how traffic directly affects their application in positive or negative ways."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"This solution has helped us with faster identification of the root cause, allowing faster resolution and increased uptime."
"The most valuable feature is the beautiful UI."
"Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops."
"It is much easier to deploy, maintain, and delivery of high value insights, which almost immediately lowers the mean time to value and resolution of issues."
"Ease of problem detection and alerting, visual timeline, and user-sessions are some of the best features of Dynatrace."
"It used to take a lot of time to troubleshoot. Now, we can actually see the logs anytime we want. I can just find the problem. It has improved performance from a time perspective."
"The most valuable component of it is taking that guessing out of troubleshooting problems. We no longer have to rely on an architect, or an application person, or someone's memory of how the transaction moves throughout the infrastructure and the different dependencies that it has on it. We can see it right there and we find out more that we ever imagined."
"Reduced incidents, as alert monitoring aids in quicker resolution of events."
"The initial setup is complex."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"The one thing I do not like about Dynatrace is that their web dashboards are very very slow. They seriously have to improve their web dashboard configuration and SSL timeouts."
"The flexibility when it comes to integrating with other tools is very low."
"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."
"I would suggest to have more rich client features on Appmon as soon as possible."
"Improve Dynatrace for the following industries: telco, eCommerce, and banking."
"They seriously have to improve their Web UI dashboard configuration and SSL timeouts. Their Web UI dashboards are very slow."
"The pricing of the product could be improved."
