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.

I use JenniferSoft to monitor the performance and transaction traces of our applications The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to divide the authorization of users because a lot of the people in our organization have different authorizations. The dashboard is a valuable…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to deploy, and we have been working with customers for many years."
"It should enable you to see the usage and performance of all application dependencies like databases, web services, caching, etc."
"The graphic display that shows the variables in the time is very intuitive and almost everyone is able to obtain useful information."
"With the adoption of CA APM, we have accurate mapping, we're updated on what supports each business service and what, when, where an incident occurs and how it affects the business."
"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."
"Our ROI has been high, as it has allowed us to adjust applications to perform better, thus reducing our need to install high-end servers."
"With CA APM, we can see the performance regarding the transactions of our applications and analyse the availability and quality of our environment to provide the best experience for our clients."
"It has helped us to showcase business use cases better to our clients during demos or PoCs."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The automatic identification of business transactions need to be improved."
"Team Center requires a number of tweaks to allow per-user/group configuration to customize the interface for groups of users, though I believe these are already in the product roadmap."
"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."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"The main issue with scalability is, however, that there's a lot of overhead required to keep it expanding."
"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."
"In the past when we've called them it's been really hit or miss. Like on a scale of one to 10, I'd give it a six."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
"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."
"I'm unable to give information on Broadcom DX Application Performance Management licensing costs, but all Application Performance Management products have expensive pricing. This means that it's not only Broadcom that's expensive, and it would be an advantage if the cost would be a little bit cheaper."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
