Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found the AppResponse, which is a packet capture solution, very good. It gives you the ability to drill down back in time. You've got all the packets there. You can troubleshoot it later, not immediately. It's very interesting.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."

"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics.""We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution.""Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic.""The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve.""After a major incident, root cause analysis is conducted and, most of the time, we understand what caused the incident and how it can be prevented from happening again.""It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good.""It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."

Cons
"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required.""Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved.""The resolution time takes longer than expected.""There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings.""If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful.""The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved.""It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics.""It could be a little more flexible in configuration on the back end."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
  • "The solution is no more expensive than other products."
  • "It is costly for small and medium businesses."
  • More Alluvio AppResponse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product’s licencing policy is competitive. However, properly identify and size your needs to get the best rate."
  • "As a technical person, and as an application development team, they all understand that this is the right tool for us. But when it comes to budget and financial matters, it takes days and weeks to convince upper management to buy this tool. So they should do something more on licensing costs."
  • "It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
  • "It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."
  • "Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."
  • "It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. ​"
  • "The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
  • "Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later.​"

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the AppDynamics solution.

    Chandan K., Associate Director at a financial services firm, says, “The tracing is the most important aspect of the solution. The way it traces the information within the particular application or within the particular infrastructure is great. That actually helps. Apart from that, all of the data that's in the production APM is good.”

    PeerSpot user, Yacin H., Responsable Commercial at Zen Networks, mentions, “You can use one module for each server, for each application, and for each API”. He also adds, “With the solution you can put add-ons on it and it's very customizable. You can customize it easily. If you want something that the tool doesn't have, you can add it easily.”

    Another reviewer, a Head Of Information Technology at a mining and metals company expresses, "The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks. The dashboards of the solution are excellent. The stability is good.”

    David G., Systems Engineer at a tech services company, states, “The solution has beneficial application analysis, is highly scalable, and has a great ROI.”
