Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance

In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.

Helps me be proactive in solving a customer's problem before it even happens

This is a new solution by HP. It's less than two years, we're among the first to implement the solution, so I'm sure that there is a lot of room for enhancement and continuous improvement in the future. They have added a new feature, which was not part of the solution, which is they support what they call hybrid apps; before, it was only supporting native. That is something they work with your R & D, whereby they support this feature in the parent version of AppPulse.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are dependent on Aternity; we get daily alerts and they help my administration team and my support team a lot because they get to know things in advance and can isolate the problem and start working on it."

"While it also provides desktop metrics, the main thing we use it for is monitoring our applications."

"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."

"The most valuable thing that you get from Aternity is very broad visibility. You get visibility of your network, of your endpoints, of your software usage, your application performance, capacity, in one pane of glass. We had 20 to 30 IT tools, including application performance monitoring, network monitoring, security, endpoint detection, network protection, capacity management, service management — every kind of monitoring you can imagine. But Aternity was always the first place that I turned for anything, because you can see everything in it."

"Overall, I would rate Aternity a 10 out of 10."

"We have pictures from the backend, from a network or a server perspective, but we didn't have any user data; collecting that data manually was pretty time-intensive and relatively inaccurate, and with Aternity, we now have the data."

"The advanced dashboards allow operations teams the ability to focus on outliers."

"The most valuable feature of Alluvio Aternity is the compiling and displaying of end-user data so that we can utilize it to troubleshoot proactively."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"We launched the Take It app in France last June, and we had 10,000 active users, five percent of our users experienced crashes, so we decided to add AppPulse Mobile to our app, and crashes dropped from five to 0.44 percent while during the same time period our users jumped to 120,000."

"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."

"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."

"It increased the customer satisfaction for the usage of my smart apps, and it reduces the number of crashes, proactively, so I know before the issue happens."

"This product has many valuable features, and it is very important for us to identify the response time, identify the different operating systems, the brand of the smart phones, and where customers are using them - not only in Mexico, but in different parts of the world."

"I tested other products but HP offers the best bang for the buck."

"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications, for some applications we've never been able to monitor before, some older legacy applications."

"It’s a mandatory tool for us at this point."

Cons

"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures. That process can be a little bit difficult. If one thing could be simplified a little bit, it would be the application monitoring signature creation process."

"The solution's downloadable reports could be improved."

"Being able to add custom monitoring to dashboards would be nice. Right now, if you want to monitor the value of a registry key on your systems, to get that added into the dashboard you have to reach out to Aternity so they can start looking for that value. It would be interesting if that were more of a self-serve function."

"We are waiting for the GA release of their agent. I hope they can do better when they release their endpoint agents. Right now, we are not able to measure some applications, core applications, because it's relying on a specific version of the agent and that agent has not come out yet and there's no ETA. I would like to see them speed up time to market when they release agents."

"I’d like to be able to build monitors easier. That has to be an easier process, and they need to make the program less complicated."

"Reports were a lot easier in the older versions"

"We are not satisfied with their technical support. If there is a problem, you have to wait for several days to get a response."

"Their technical support should be improved in terms of response time. Its stability should also be better. We are currently using version 10, and its stability is not so high. The server crashes from time to time and needs to be restarted. Sometimes, you also have problems with applications."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"We are using AppPulse, but not as extensively as we expected, due to the limitations and the regulations that we have to meet."

"There are some cases where the product cannot perform an analysis initially, and this may be a stability issue."

"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."

"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."

"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."

"I think the product was premature."

"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."

"However, false positives is definitely something you will need to watch out for."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the scale of your monitoring will be to go everywhere in an organization, a site license is key."

"Pricing is a bit high. Don't take that as the "be all, end all"."

"The pricing is fair."

"In my opinion they are asking a lot for their SaaS solution, but I also know that that's the direction they're going... The current, on-prem solution is probably a fair price."

"Our management squeezed Aternity pretty hard on the pricing, in my opinion a little too much. I advise negotiating for sure, but I do think it left kind of a sour taste in Aternity’s mouth that we were being so pushy despite the fact that we were only purchasing a small number of licenses."

"Its licensing cost is very low. That's one of the reasons why we have kept it for so long. We get more than a 70% discount on the maintenance licenses. Its cost is very low for us, but if you buy it new, it would be much more expensive at the retail price."

"The pricing is reasonable for the value that it gives because it does allow you to measure the cost ramifications of direct productivity loss for spends in both your infrastructure and on endpoints."

"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."

"It was a no-brainer from a cost perspective compared to the other tools that we buy as an IT organization."
