We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and NETSCOUT nGeniusONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"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."
"The triage can find the root cause for pent up issues."
"This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments. E.g., if we have devices which have overloaded or links which have saturated, then this tool tells us exactly what is going on with that link or device. Very few tools do it at this level for things like DDoS."
"It is an easy-to-scale platform."
"It is a scalable product."
"We build application dashboards and performance indexes for locations."
"Packet decode and bandwidth analysis reports are the two most valuable features."
"The ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour."
"The most valuable feature is visibility."
"Valuable features include data threat detection, network analytics, and overall bandwidth monitoring."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's pricing is higher compared to the competitors. It is more than 15-18 percent of competitor costs. It also needs to add AI features."
"Another thing that would help out is if they packaged the NetFlow monitor into nGeniusONE. Their NetFlow monitor works with nGeniusONE where you can actually get the netflow of pretty much anything you hook it up to. But it's a separate box that you have to buy. If there was a way that could package that into nGeniusONE, it would be a complete package straight out of the box."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"Initially, we were having a lot of issues with bugs when using version 6.1.1. There were a lot of problems with the dashboard causing confusion. We worked with our SE and the NETSCOUT engineering team to fix the visibility with the data. There should be a patch release to fix this issue. However, this seems to be working fine for us right now after the 6.2.2 upgrade."
"We would like more encryption of customer data, because we have a very security conscious company. We have a lot of regulation coming in which requires us to make customer data private."
"For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there."
"There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes."
"The stability is only fair. It goes down a lot."
