We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""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.""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.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""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."

"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end.""It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers.""Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents.""FxV is valuable as we can playback the session.""Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me.""Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable.""Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur.""With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."

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

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement.""It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment.""I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace.""I want to see mobile access application in the next release.""There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work.""The version compatibility needs work.""Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful.""My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
