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.

Great for visibility but lacks many features and difficult to update

We're customers. We don't have a special relationship with the company. I am the operation's application administrator. At the moment, the solution is monitoring the applications that we want it to monitor. We're not looking at it on a daily basis. We just use it here and there. The challenge we have is that we believe that Dynatrace can address some tasks we'd like done that are not possible to execute on this solution. Dynatrace includes monitoring of not just the logs, but the applications as well. Dynatrace also makes us include firewalls, etc. We could have it so there are end to end solutions or identifications within the process. What we have right now is only the app server as well as the database server and its connectivity. The solution does save time that's caused when creating SQL coding. However, there are some issues around AppInternals changing the code and giving us issues. From the point of view of the top management, we want a more permanent solution. We want to identify what causes issues and we are looking for a more end-to-end solution. That is why we are looking at Dynatrace. I don't know if I have any advice for other organizations. The experience I have is only based on my own limited experience. However, I believe that the application has the potential to be really good if it identifies what is really important to an organization. It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking. It's not fully complete. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It addresses some of our needs, but there's a lot lacking that could be added to make it a fuller, more interesting product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."

"There are also built-in activities that let you measure things like preview mail, open address book, and send mail. Those are the activities that we are able to get measurements on, and those are things we have not seen in other software monitoring tools."

"The most useful function in Alluvio Aternity is that it allows the customer to easily track and get visibility of whether the application an end-user is accessing is performing well or not."

"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."

"The item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports, as they provide a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."

"We have seen return on our investment with Aternity."

"From my experience, this reduces the troubleshooting time by 70 or 80 percent."

"The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"

"From the experience I had with these three tools, I realized that Riverbed was superior in all aspects (performance, user experience, and features)."

"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."

"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."

"Many times what might have taken hours or days can be resolved in a few minutes."

"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."

"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."

"Mean time to isolate a problem has dropped by 50-75% in each region since we've deployed the Riverbed SteelCentral suite."

Cons

"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."

"The licensing model doesn't suit the market we are in and has room for improvement."

"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."

"The process of doing the application recording is a bit cumbersome."

"I would like to see more granular performance counters collected and viewable from the endpoints. That would be great."

"They've additionally added some great color coding, but they need to explain better and drive down further on the meanings of this workflow."

"The version that I've seen, the one thing it doesn't do which I don't know if it's really meant to do is that you're getting all the view from the client side but sometimes it's not possible to look on the server side at anything that's happening on that side of things."

"I think the workflow needs improvement"

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."

"We had issues with the end-to-end view of unique customer: reviewing end-to-end customer problems to see where a problem is about customer, code, DB or network."

"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."

"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."

"There are some functional bugs when using TTW and making report queries (to generate graphs)."

"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."

"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."

"It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to purchase it for 12 months, which is an issue because a lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. There are a few additional costs. A lot of customers only get the essential licenses, and then they get what they call the application add-ons on top. They have to pay depending on how many customers and applications they want to monitor."

"The pricing for the users and agents is reasonable compared to other solutions and vendors."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The pricing is fair."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"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 licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
