Dashboards facilitate prompt alerts but discovery feature needs enhancement
I would recommend Broadcom DX Application Performance Management if a customer doesn't have any existing performance solution. However, ten years ago, the solution was better, and now there are many competitive options. My overall rating would be between six and seven. The product rating I would give is 6.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps me know everything, and when there is a problem, I can find it very quickly, which reduces the time for solving problems on the website."
"Application triage is the most valuable feature; it gives precise insights about problems and leads to the root cause very quickly."
"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."
"Since implementing this solution and having that information, the data to work off of definitely reduced that to basically nothing."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM, as it is very stable on all platforms."
"It takes care of our issues."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."
 

Cons

"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly."
"I give it an eight out of 10 overall because I don't see custom dashboards. Plus, some of the stat analysis features that were explained are not that easy to use."
"Issues with the workstation interface which could be more productive."
"Compared to other tools, the technical support is not good."
"It provides access to problems, but not to the problem analysis. You cannot track the problem to the root cause."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"Some of which are the inability to manage multiple hosts at the same time, configure agents in an easy fashion."
"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"Broadcom is a better and cheaper option from the financial perspective. It also depends on the DLP plug."
"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
