Catchpoint and CA App Synthetic Monitor compete in the performance monitoring solutions category. Catchpoint seems to have the upper hand with its detailed monitoring capabilities and comprehensive visibility, while CA App Synthetic Monitor stands out for its ease of setup and integration features.
Features: Catchpoint offers robust monitoring capabilities, granular data, and real-time analytics. CA App Synthetic Monitor provides straightforward integration, user-friendly alert systems, and flexibility in monitoring various environments.
Room for Improvement: Catchpoint needs enhancements in reporting functionality, expanding integration options, and better user interface customization. CA App Synthetic Monitor should improve historical data analysis, advanced customization for reports, and overall data analytics.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Catchpoint's deployment is quick but may require technical expertise. Users praise its customer service and support. CA App Synthetic Monitor has an easy deployment process with minimal setup time, and users commend its responsive customer service.
Pricing and ROI: Catchpoint is a premium product with a higher setup cost but delivers significant ROI due to its advanced features. CA App Synthetic Monitor is more cost-effective, with lower setup costs and satisfactory ROI, though it may lack some of Catchpoint's advanced capabilities.
IT organizations require full visibility into business-critical applications regardless of where they're hosted in order to maintain service levels and proactively deal with issues before the end-user is impacted. CA App Synthetic Monitor uses synthetic transactions to provide performance insight for these applications no matter where they're hosted: outside the firewall, in the cloud or delivered via a managed service provider (MSP). Delivered as software as a service, CA App Synthetic Monitor provides end-to-end transaction response time visibility into cloud, mobile and traditional web applications using synthetic transactions delivered by a network of 95 monitoring stations across six continents, 48 countries, 93 cities and 15 time zones.
