DX Application Performance Management vs. TrackJS

Any other APM product is vastly superior. This product's interface, lack of automated instrumentation, and just ridiculous false parity with other APM products is the laughing stock of the industry. In our use case, we have no other APM tools so we attempt to use and in 1 case out of 10 did we actually find a reported metric that was actually related to the root cause. We spent four hours parsing metric output graphs and hierarchy trees to find it. If CA is your preferred vendor and you like washing your clothes by hand instead of using an automated appliance then this tool is for you

If you're not currently doing any JS error tracking or are just getting started, TrackJS is a great solution. If you are looking for a more technical solution, something like NewRelic may be more appropriate - but if the primary user isn't going to be a web developer and you're looking for something that is easier to use, I would recommend TrackJS.

• There is a steep learning curve with the tool which can make it at times daunting to use.
• APM can at times be fickle with what it can and cannot track as far as performance metrics go.
• Other than Team Center, the rest of the pieces of the tool aren't as intuitive and require more time to instrument.

• Price is a bit high
• More customizable alerts would be great
• Would love more detail related to site speed

CA Application Performance Management (APM) is the solution global brands trust to proactively identify and resolve performance and availability issues across physical, virtual, cloud, and mobile applications. CA APM is easy, proactive, intelligent and collaborative, so every user transaction becomes a loyalty-building interaction. CA Application Performance Management is an application lifecycle management solution for businesses of all sizes while we tried to use Dynatrace but as we get more familiar with CA Wily by the time we analyzed Dynatrace, we were interested to use it and see the results how it goes.

TrackJS is less technical and is easier to use than New Relic. New Relic provides more data, but is virtually unusable if you're not technical.

• APM has allowed us to customize a dashboard view for each specific application. This allows for unique monitoring of top functions and unique alerts. It is awesome for this use.
• APM allows us better data and faster alerting compared to previous products. We moved away from another product because it was not reporting on problems accurately.
• Once set up, APM requires little management and overhead time. The setup can be somewhat time consuming, but once setup we see no issues

• ROI has been positive. We've identified a few issues that we wouldn't have otherwise found without TrackJS.
