Senior Technical Engineer at a consultancy with 1-10 employees

Identifies and analyzes performance issues quickly using in-built AI and ML

With Alluvio AppResponse, there is an in-built analytical analysis with AI and ML, which identifies and provides data such as the number of TCP retransmits, web access time, total connection time out, total connections established, and server-side errors. The RTCC response time composition chart is crucial because it helps pinpoint the issue's origin, whether from the server, network, or application side. It's a superb product when compared to SolarWinds SAM, which is agent-based, while Alluvio AppResponse captures all traffic from the core switch.

Reliable network operations improved by seamless technology, though efficiency could benefit from reduced manual tasks

Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year. The performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional. Extreme Ethernet fabric technology offers less administrative effort in extending VLANs due to its loop-free environment. We have been satisfied with this robust performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."

"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."

"It's a stable product. Riverbed has invested a significant amount of research and development into it, so it's a solid tool overall."

"We really like the scalability capabilities."

"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."

"Riverbed's product is a superb product."

"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."

"You need a packet capture device to perform any type of network monitoring. It helps ensure that network overloads don't happen with alerts allowing for proactive decisions."

More Alluvio AppResponse pros

"HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input and are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories."

"The most valuable feature of HP Aruba Networking UX-I is its 24/7 monitoring capability."

"Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year."

"The integration of HPE Aruba Networking UXI with other security and networking tools is quite robust, allowing us to collect information from firewalls, routers, access points, and more, and present it through Grafana to proactively address issues before clients open support tickets."

"There was definitely an ROI with the use cases I have had; when you see that the network issues and trouble tickets that are opening start to decrease, that is where your ROI starts coming in regarding productivity."

"The performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional."

Cons

"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."

"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."

"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."

"The reporting models need improvement as most of the time, we have to customize the reports manually."

"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."

"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."

"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."

More Alluvio AppResponse cons

"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."

"It would be beneficial if the tool offered a less expensive subscription as it is currently costly for our clients."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is no more expensive than other products."

"The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."

"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."

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."
