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

"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."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"CA APM gives a complete 360 degree view of application performance."
"CA APM reduces our time to resolution and improves our customer confidence."
"I think that the most important feature is the freedom to construct the workloads for the database size we need according to number of users, data, and other criteria."
"We are able to spot issues much quicker with the use of the out-of-the-box metrics given to us by CA. But we also develop that further with the use of the EPA Agent and expand what we can give and show the business by creating our own scripts. This has allowed us to develop our own self-monitoring and before anybody else sees the issue we are on hand to solve that as quickly as possible."
"Some of the things that are starting to be interesting is being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."
 

Cons

"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."
"CA Introscope has performance and data collection issues."
"It could be faster. For example, when we are upgrading the product, it takes a lot of time and there are a lot of things we have to do manually."
"The new experience center needs some improvement to works with all the attributes, but it offers great potential."
"I'd like to see more integration between all the tools."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"It would be very helpful to have transaction insights with a more transparent configuration."
"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is annual. The licensing model could improve because there is not any limit to deploying the agent, there should be some limits on it."
"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."
"The pricing structure should be based on memory or CPU usage rather than the number of agents, as it makes the solution more expensive for us."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
