Lacking in regard to observation of the entire platform but does dynamic injections from within
There is little that's unique about mPulse but since the solution is part of Akamai, you can do dynamic injections from within the product which is a great feature. the UI is quite good. It offers a basic set of features but nothing unique other than that as part of Akamai, you can do dynamic injections.

Visual mapping of data pipelines has improved dependency insight and speeds troubleshooting
Regarding Savision Live Maps's AI capabilities, I think accuracy was pretty good, as it gave most of the information that we were able to validate, so it's all good. The advice I would give to others looking into using Savision Live Maps is that I think it's a good product; it's a new thing, and the AI capabilities are obviously improving every day, so I'm looking forward to more improvements and more use cases, and hopefully we can scale it in different departments and for different projects. I gave Savision Live Maps a rating of 8 out of 10.

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"There is little that's unique about mPulse but since the solution is part of Akamai, you can do dynamic injections from within the product which is a great feature."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"It’s a very good product for performance tracking, I haven’t used many others, so I can’t comment on a competitive level."
"It provides a great overview for management regarding user experience."
"There's a good relationship between the price and the licences."
"It provides real-time monitoring for performance and availability of specific portions of the website without a significant data overhead."
"We are a worldwide company and we need to have a solution with good performance which the solution is providing us with; it has helped our company."
"Savision Live Maps has impacted my organization positively because it helps visually represent nodes and understand dependencies, which helps us understand breakages and issues in production."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"It needs a more intuitive GUI and more customization options."
"The solution didn't help us much and that's the reason we never used mPulse on a full scale and why we chose to go with Dynatrace."
"They work very well, only thing is they need more time to improve and fix all the issues."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"Scalability to larger volume of data seems to be hit or miss."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
