Comparison Results: Dynatrace has a more user-friendly interface, better AI capabilities, and stronger support for container platforms compared to Broadcom DX Application Performance Management. Dynatrace also offers more customization options for dashboards and better reporting capabilities.
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management for me is transaction monitoring. The technical support provided for the solution is also an advantage."
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"Now, we know we have a problem, because there is a primary layer of alerting or metrics monitoring put in place, that is the good part."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"The time it takes to track problems in applications is the most valuable return that we have from this solution."
"Once you are trained on the solution, it's easy to navigate. It's got very good documentation and training offerings."
"The view it provides for default analysis is very nice. The way in which it showcases how the metrics have been captured and how lucidly that they are displayed. This is a good thing to have from a technical and non-technical perspective."
"A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."
"It has given us one simple dashboard to monitor all of our servers and web applications."
"We were able to decrease the number of production defects ever since we started using Dynatrace in our test environment."
"It is cleaner and more compact with good UX/UI."
"The monitoring is very good."
"Simple classic but effective UI (unlike some modern UI's out there that have too much white-space)"
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The technical support is very poor."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"The challenge with AppMon is, what if you don't have an AppMon agent on a host, but it talks to the database. It talks to it, but I don't have either a host agent or an AppMon agent on it. That has been a challenge, but I believe the Dynatrace agent, the OneAgent, will solve that, potentially."
"I would also like to see it baselining more metrics out-of-the-box. We have a lot of rich data, but if someone says, "Well how did that look last week?" If you're looking at a problem and you see, for example, a long SQL statement, is that the root cause, or is it always slow. it's difficult to get historical data."
"The integration with PagerDuty is currently broken on mobile."
"The customer support is not quick and helpful at this stage. We are deploying Dynatrace into our network. I've raised a couple of technical questions with the support team but the response was not fast and didn't cover all my questions at all."
"Dynatrace has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"It could improve its GUI interface. The GUI design is too crowded and the icons are small. Sometimes I end up clicking on the wrong button."
"I would like to see more features from the desktop client included in the web client."
"Our primary wish list for RFEs or feature requests are additional integration options with ticketing systems. Although, we are able to work around it, 'ticketing' is not a core function of the product."
