Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition.""The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the breakdown that it provides, such as a description of the fields for a particular transaction.""IBM Application Performance Management helped us increased our response time by 80% and cost 60% less.""The transaction tracking feature from IBM is the most important feature for us. It is something that provides a terrific value for us and our clients. It has a lot of data sources and agents that are collectors. It is also stable.""The initial setup was straightforward and took minimal effort.""Because we have partnerships with other partners, I can share a bit about what I've noticed with IBM APM compared to other vendor solutions. Specifically, with IBM, the visibility into detailed process information is more tangible. On the OS level, APM displays all processes (or the top 10 processes) that are consuming CPU or resident memory. This is the most important thing that is not always available with other vendors.""It's easy to use.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."

Cons
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances.""The user interface needs improvement."

More CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] Cons →

"With APM, we noticed that the agent can cause a lot of issues for the application, making the agent very unreliable. Many issues are happening, and we've had to discuss it with support to try and get a fix. It affects application availability, and sometimes actions fail because of the agent, degrading the performance of the application.""Its web user interface is a little bit old in comparison to other solutions, such as New Relic, and it should be improved. Its scalability and technical support should also be improved. Currently, it is scalable, but only in a vertical way. They provide good technical support, but the initial steps for a new case can be improved to fasten the resolution process.""It's still missing some platforms. For example, if you look to applications itself, it is missing the interface.""Technical support can be slow and needs improvement.""The stability is not great and should be better.""The demo that was provided to us is not working very well. At times, there are errors.""They should focus on potentially enhancing the dashboard to make it more contemporary and adding some customization options. Furthermore, there might be room for improvement in the pricing policy."
