We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and SolarWinds AppOptics 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.
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"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."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"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."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"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."
"They need to add support for new frameworks, or at least provide a broader guide/perspectives to add them to monitoring specific agents to retrieve metrics with thresholds as a reference to guide the customer as to where they must go to achieve this."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
