Pricing and Cost Advice | |
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. Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler. On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run. | Information Not Available |
