Pros
"We really like the scalability capabilities.""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 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.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""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.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."

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.""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.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""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.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account.""Old user interface and dashboards could be improved.""DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
