Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."With the new feature CA Team Center is much easier to view the information of my user experience, with this unified vision, it was even practical for lay users to use the tool"
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"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."
"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."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"The way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"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."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"What comes to mind when you speak of a room for improvement in Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is the infrastructure agent, but my company doesn't use it, so I can't say if it's really a problem or not, but it could be the container support or cloud support that could be improved in the solution. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is for it to have one agent for cloud and one agent for legacy, with all features included."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
