Which is the best AANPM product? Should we be considering anything besides for Riverbed?
As Mike Wellman indicated previously when you consider the following: 1. "All-In" (think All-in-One) 2. Ease of use and 3. Affordable > it's a good thing you're looking at Fluke Networks TruView solution a. Quick and easy to deploy and capable of scaling easily in small to very large enterprises b. Simple & guided workflows means it wont become shelfware c. Definitely affordable and the return on investment is quickly realized

It's a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility at all levels
I rate Alluvio AppResponse 10 out of 10. If you work for a financial company especially, you probably face problems on the application side. The problem is easy to identify, but you need to determine the root cause. You can solve issues easily via AppResponse because it shows you all the details of your transactions so you can see the real problem in the database, network, software, etc. For example, you can find the solution easily if you create the right dashboard on your site. If you can't find the problem, you can observe or investigate PCAP.

Monitors traffic, analyzes flows, tracks packets, and measures bandwidth across our network
We use TruView primarily for network performance analysis and monitoring. It helps us track traffic, flows, packets, and bandwidth to understand our network's condition and detect any anomalies or attacks. However, the product's age limits its advanced features for performance analysis. The main advantage lies in its low cost and reliable functionality, as we have a permanent license and do not require support. Real-time monitoring in TruView is somewhat limited, as there is a delay of about five minutes in data updates, making it less effective for immediate insights.

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 is performance monitoring."
"Riverbed's product is a superb product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
More Alluvio AppResponse pros
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."
"We use TruView primarily for network performance analysis and monitoring. It helps us track traffic, flows, packets, and bandwidth to understand our network's condition and detect any anomalies or attacks. However, the product's age limits its advanced features for performance analysis. The main advantage lies in its low cost and reliable functionality, as we have a permanent license and do not require support. Real-time monitoring in TruView is somewhat limited, as there is a delay of about five minutes in data updates, making it less effective for immediate insights."
 

Cons

"The reporting models need improvement as most of the time, we have to customize the reports manually."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"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."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."
"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."
More Alluvio AppResponse cons
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
"We have faced delays in data retrieval and the lack of support due to the product being out of service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."
"The solution is no more expensive than other products."
"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."

I would at least take a look at Compuware's DCRUM portfolio, and compare the two. What is the goal of implementing the solution?

Thanks Tarjei, our main goal is to enable us to monitor application / network performance from the user to the back end servers of an application. We will be looking to fully monitor around 10-15 applications in total, so with this we need to be able to give access to our 2nd Level teams, and various application support teams where they only see their own application. Many of these teams will not have in depth understanding of raw packet data, so we need to be able to display a high level overview of the application health, which we can drill down into for root cause analysis.
