We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and DX SaaS 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."Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"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."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"Measurement of response time"
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"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 would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"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 reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"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."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
