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.

Regarding Savision Live Maps's AI capabilities, I think accuracy was pretty good, as it gave most of the information that we were able to validate, so it's all good. The advice I would give to others looking into using Savision Live Maps is that I think it's a good product; it's a new thing, and the AI capabilities are obviously improving every day, so I'm looking forward to more improvements and more use cases, and hopefully we can scale it in different departments and for different projects. I gave Savision Live Maps a rating of 8 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

"Handling of issues has become proactive rather that reactive, with Introscope flagging issues before they become a crisis."
"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."
"The application is very stable and extremely useful."
"My organization can find the correct solution to an alert the first time around."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"CA Introscope Workstation is the first tool that was quickly embraced by our developers and became one of the tools they use on a daily basis."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Now, different teams can get info even before the system crashes and can take proactive steps and find the exact point to focus their efforts to fix it."
"Savision Live Maps has impacted my organization positively because it helps visually represent nodes and understand dependencies, which helps us understand breakages and issues in production."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when we raise issues and open tickets with them, they'll say that the issue will be resolved in the next release; we have to wait for the next release before they are able to solve the issues, instead of solving them more quickly."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"They tried to streamline the organization, that was the initial point of using APM. It led to so many internal changes, but it didn’t affect the organization much at all in the end."
"Yes, we encountered issues with scalability inside Team Center, a massive amount of universes, perspectives, applications."
"I have a hard time upgrading CA APM. When I upgrade from one version to another, everything must be done manually."
"On Windows Platform, it’s not great and/or stable (from previous experience)."
"In short, CA APM is not a tool I would recommend for implementation of self-healing."
"Outages with the solution are very frequent nowadays actually; we see the APM solution going down two to three times a day, and it’s a long troubleshooting cycle, as the CA APM system seems to add a lot of performance overhead."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
"The licensing costs are expensive."
"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."
