We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We really like the scalability capabilities.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""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.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."

"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features.""For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks.""The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring.""WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance.""The initial setup is straightforward.""Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand.""The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface.""We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."

Cons
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""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.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"Lacks some integration between all the tools.""They can make it easier to configure.""Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system.""The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics.""One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful.""The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect.""The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center.""With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."

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 →

  • "Depends on the size of the product you need."
  • "Althougth it is a bit expensive, it is really worth it"
  • "There is some research needed to determine licensing costs, based on the number of DataPower instances for the Nastel agent, for example."
  • "Negotiate a lot, but do not forget to buy the product because it is worth it."
  • "Pricing and licensing are not issues."
  • "On pricing, CA is very competitive. I think that's going to help in the long run."
  • "Setup costs are quite competitive relative to other solutions, and simpler."
  • "Dynatrace is the most expensive of these tools followed by AppDynamics which is "medium-expensive." CA APM is a bit lower in price than either Dynatrace or AppDynanics... In my opinion, if you can afford it, go for AppDynamics instead of CA APM."
