We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise.""As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues.""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument.""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Pros →

"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data.""The CA tools allow to me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions. It also gathers data. Some other tools may be good at one area, but not good overall, including the mainframe.""WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance.""CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity.""We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for.""The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring.""Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check.""Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."

Cons
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker.""I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now.""Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.""We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Cons →

"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed.""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.""I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product.""Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current.""In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM.""You can sell licenses and install the full tool on service, you can show customers how to install, but how to use it and solve issues cannot be done without the experience.""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.""The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
  • More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Depends on the size of the product you need."
  • "Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
  • "There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
  • "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."
  • "Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
  • "Dynatrace is the most expensive of these tools followed by AppDynamics which is "medium-expensive." CA APM is a bit lower in price than either Dynatrace or AppDynanics... In my opinion, if you can afford it, go for AppDynamics instead of CA APM."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. “ A Peerspot user who is an Applications Engineer at a financial services firm.

    “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.” A.Jurisic, CEO at Pio Pet d.o.o.

    “What is most valuable about this solution is that it completely monitors code-level visibility. We benefit from this as we're able to capture any performance issues from an application, then raise and forward those issues to the applicable team more quickly.” S. Doddi, APM consultant at Tech Mahindra Limited
