IT Support Specialist at a real estate/law firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

We're customers. We don't have a special relationship with the company. I am the operation's application administrator. At the moment, the solution is monitoring the applications that we want it to monitor. We're not looking at it on a daily basis. We just use it here and there. The challenge we have is that we believe that Dynatrace can address some tasks we'd like done that are not possible to execute on this solution. Dynatrace includes monitoring of not just the logs, but the applications as well. Dynatrace also makes us include firewalls, etc. We could have it so there are end to end solutions or identifications within the process. What we have right now is only the app server as well as the database server and its connectivity. The solution does save time that's caused when creating SQL coding. However, there are some issues around AppInternals changing the code and giving us issues. From the point of view of the top management, we want a more permanent solution. We want to identify what causes issues and we are looking for a more end-to-end solution. That is why we are looking at Dynatrace. I don't know if I have any advice for other organizations. The experience I have is only based on my own limited experience. However, I believe that the application has the potential to be really good if it identifies what is really important to an organization. It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking. It's not fully complete. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It addresses some of our needs, but there's a lot lacking that could be added to make it a fuller, more interesting product.

The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it…

My advice to others would be to use this solution for monitoring. For instance, if I need to monitor something or if I have an error, I can take access from Riverbed, which will then provide me with a reports of what I should do. That is very handy. One should really understand how the solution works in order to get the best out of it. You can use it in many ways - you can do troubleshooting, make reports, you can read, and it will really help you, but you need to deliver it in the right way. I will rate it a seven out of ten.

Valuable Features

"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running, and this gives us the ability to see what's going on."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems, it's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"My advice to others would be to use this solution for monitoring."

Room for Improvement

"It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."

Pricing

Users understand Aternity AppInternals [EOL] to be quite expensive without knowing exact numbers. They find Dynatrace to have more competitive pricing, and they consider Cisco\'s pricing to be acceptable.

"The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
IT Support Specialist at a real estate/law firm with 1,001-5,000 employees	3.0	This solution provides valuable application visibility, but it's an outdated version, lacks adequate support, and isn't a complete end-to-end monitoring tool. I'm exploring Dynatrace for a more comprehensive and updated solution.
Security & Performance Analytics Technical Specialist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees	4.0	I find this solution integrates well and is stable, making it easy to understand and identify problems. However, I'd prefer automated updates and better scalability for diverse technologies, despite an initial setup that could be smoother. I rate it an eight.
Network Security Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees	3.5	I use this solution for troubleshooting and monitoring, valuing its IP-to-application matching. However, I find the investigation tools need improvement, especially with unresolved errors, and technical support is not very good. It is a 7/10 solution.
Manager - Performance Engineering at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees	4.5	I find the transaction tracing invaluable for quickly resolving complex application issues, but support for PHP and other applications is limited, and the licensing is quite pricey. Initial setup can also be tricky with OS compatibility and permissions.
Performance Technical Test Consultant at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees	4.5	TTW significantly improved our performance engineering with deep transaction analysis and specific solutions. Although stable, report generation was slow and had occasional bugs, requiring faster processing or user guidance for efficiency.
Systems Software Specialist III at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees	4.0	I appreciate AppInternals v10's ease of use, dashboards, and stability, which surpassed previous tools. Support is responsive, though I'd like enhanced search to differentiate URL request types like GET/POST.
APM Specialist at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees	4.5	I find AppInternals excellent for its no-overhead middleware APM and clear end-to-end monitoring. Customer service is superb. While the admin dashboard could be easier and licensing is costly, its value is high.
IT Admin at a healthcare company with 501-1,000 employees	4.5	I find the product excellent for problem resolution and trend identification with strong diagnostic tools. However, I believe documentation, training, and customer service have declined significantly, and the synthetic transaction recording needs improvement.
