CA Technologies Application Performance Management Case Study

Fixing Performance Issues Faster Since Switching from Riverbed to CA APM

Introduction

This case study of a state & local government is based on a May 2016 survey of CA Technologies Application Performance Management customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled organization asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“CA APM helps our organization speed and simplify the triage of application performance issues.”

“CA’s all virtual approach and its integration with VMware is outstanding.”

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled organization to evaluate and ultimately select CA APM:

  • Challenges experienced prior to CA APM:
    • Inconsistent or poor app end-user-experience
    • Difficult and long root-cause analysis for app performance issues
    • Long app performance Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR)
    • An inability to provide continuous feedback loop for Dev & Operations
    • APM Blind Spots (SSO, API, Middleware, Mainframe, etc)
    • An inability to monitor high volume production environments

Use Case

This organization switched from Riverbed to CA APM.

Results

The surveyed organization achieved the following results with CA APM:

  • Troubleshooting application performance challenges solved by CA APM:
    • Needing to pull in too many experts into a war room to resolve problems
    • Hard to spot slow growing problems
  • Top CA APM capabilities:
    • The ability to proactively manage user experience
    • The ability to visualize application performance across mobile to mainframe
  • Rates CA APM’s features compared to the competition:
    • Monitoring coverage: highly superior
    • Depth & frequency of metrics: superior
    • Customization (e.g. dashboards): superior
    • Scalability: superior
  • Improved the following with CA APM:
    • End-user-experience: 75-50%
  • Benefit realized since adopting CA APM:
    • Improved the ability to fix performance issues faster
