DX Application Performance Management vs. Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

CA Wily is well suited for monitoring the load balanced application nodes and determine their main performance bottlenecks like if problem exists in heap or in some connection issues. But I think when it comes to providing the entire report of the application, it is less appropriate as there is no way to create the entire report of the test for all the counters monitored. Also there is no way to detect some issues based on the system configuration.

Good for below cases 1. There is a front end and need to correlate data with front end data 2. multiple microservices and need to check the health of each system 3. correlate data from various sources 4. Application performance is a key to be captured 5. application performance is a key metric.

• Alerting which can be customized by the end user.
• Visualization of the metrics and data presented to provide a unique and attractive interface.
• Flexibility to manage actions and commands that we deem important for each application. The ability to define these and customize the metrics reported for each individual application is huge for us.

• Detect and Troubleshoot, which allows team to eliminate errors.
• Dashboard creates a one stop location for environment health
• Provides visibility, access to logs and user data real time.

• We are facing challenges to meet RFP requirements in few areas where I would recommend CA to improve.
• We are facing challenges for non (java and dotnet application) which CA APM does not support. SAP is another solution where CA APM is not able to address our business requirement.

• I wish Splunk Application Performance Monitoring could integrate with packet capture and analysis tools and provide the integrated analysis results on each tier of the application

Splunk is a great tool for log mining. It is less time-consuming and easy to use. It provides high security, it has customisable dashboards. Furthermore, it acts as a search head, and it gives real-time status. It has the ability to collect data from any source and multiple sources, and it can correlate them.

We have never received any support from CA on this product

We only have 1 application using DX APM, while most of other applications are instrumented using Dynatrace. Dynatrace provides a better monitoring and instrumentation for applications. The required effort to setup monitoring capability using DX APM is way more work compared to Dynatrace, also the amount of KPIs offered from Dynatrace is more than DX APM.

It is good that the correlation analysis and the cause of the failure can be analyzed more extensively through the collection of many data. It is good because it provides a user interface (usability) well and can be used conveniently.
It is good because it can utilize anomaly detection through various AI-based ML models.

• Introscope is deeply utilized within the organization. However, CEM and Team Center not as much. Those that use one piece don't generally use the others. Partially because of the curve in learning how to use the consoles effectively.
• reporting is pretty well configured and easy to setup if you know how to use the tools. So this can be easy to use and takes less time to configure for the different groups within the organization.

Incentivized

• It gave us more quicker alerts in a organize way to distribute to specific audience.
• Helped us to improve our uptime by getting pro-active alerts via emails
• More collaboration in a DevOps culture
