We performed a comparison between Avantra and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management 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."The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"CA APM is very scalable and used in a clustered environment because it supports more than its technical capacity."
"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."
"Measurement of response time"
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"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 technical support is very poor."
"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."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
