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 most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process."
"The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring."
"It's provided us with consolidated reports and a monitoring dashboard, and it's helped us greatly that the dashboard allows us to create very customizable views that give us the information we need to determine the overall status of network health."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"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."
"The solution is stable, and I don't recall having any significant performance issues with it."
"The incidences raised by end users for application performance-related issues decreased from 1700 per quarter to 250 per quarter."
"The alerting part – if the system goes down we get an immediate notification that a resource has gone down, so it reduces the impact on the business."
"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."
 

Cons

"There needs to be more ability to report on the performance of the applications, so you could easily have a report run and give you all your performance stats for an application at the end of the month, or week, or after a release."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The fresh technology should have been out a long time ago."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to, and we actually have some open cases that are working through that."
"Initially, this setup was a little bit overwhelming. I think it does take some time to get up to speed to understand how to navigate through the product, but once you get comfortable and familiar with it, it's pretty intuitive."
"Out-of-the-box report templates need to be incorporated."
"Mainly, what we are seeing are problems with our ability to manage all the agents across the board."
"Probe-based network appliance: Add more protocols (currently only supports TCP, HTTP and HTTPS) Software / Consoles / Dashboards"
"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing are not issues."
"On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
"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."
"All discounts are case by case to accommodate the client's budgets."
"Depends on the size of the product you need."
"It is definitely expensive for what we get, but there isn't an alternate option at the moment."
"Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
"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."
