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.

Provides you with powerful analysis of your network and business infrastructure
There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution gives feedback exactly the way that we need it with data specific to tasks, timelines, and analyses."
"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."
"One of the great features of CA APM is the analysis of application performance problems."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"It is a very good product, but it has to fit their needs because it is mainly focused on JAVA/.NET applications, although it has agents for PHP and Node.js."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the CA Customer Experience Manager, as it shows the real impact on the customers."
"Cross-platform business transaction tracing supports the ability to monitor end-to-end performance across the stack, providing granular insight into customer experience KPIs, which are a critical success factor for organizations."
"We don’t have performance bottlenecks or leaks in production any more and act proactively to prevent their occurrence."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"Even if you don't have a QA tool, you can automate a lot of the quality assurance functions through ORUEI."
"Before RUEI came in, the users from production took hours to resolve issues, or couldn't end up finding a root cause."
"Customer satisfaction higher than before."
 

Cons

"Since Broadcom bought it, I would no longer recommend this product to other users."
"The cost of licensing of the product could be better."
"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."
"Technical support is 7/10. It needs to be more proactive."
"Support for more programming languages and a complete fusion with the Customer Experience Management product because the product needs an appliance to get the user experience."
"When we were trying to restore historical data, we have reached certain limitations, which have restricted our historical view from being resized."
"In terms of scalability, because APM is tightly coupled, it doesn't have the scalability as a built-in feature."
"I have faced scalability and stability issues. When we needed to monitor a large number of data metrics, then these kinds of issues occur."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider."
"It is a bit complex for newbie."
"Licensing is very expensive for this solution."
"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
"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."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
"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."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
"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."
