Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Alluvio Aternity and SysTrack compete in the application and endpoint monitoring industry. SysTrack appears to have the upper hand due to its detailed insights into infrastructure performance and competitive pricing.

Features: Alluvio Aternity excels with its application monitoring, customizable dashboards, and real-time data collection, focusing on user behavior. SysTrack provides robust endpoint monitoring with features such as Black Box, Resolve, and user experience metrics, offering deep insights into device performance.

Room for Improvement: Alluvio Aternity is critiqued for its dashboard's user-friendliness and integration with other platforms. SysTrack's dashboard is seen as inflexible with a less modern interface and needs improved integration with third-party tools.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Alluvio Aternity offers both on-premises and cloud-based deployments but has been noted for responsiveness issues in technical support. SysTrack also provides similar deployment options and is praised for knowledgeable support, though response times could improve for high urgency issues.

Pricing and ROI: Alluvio Aternity is a premium solution with subscription and on-premises licensing. Users find it costly yet justified by its features. SysTrack has a per-device pricing model and is deemed expensive by some, yet its comprehensive insights often result in higher ROI.

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.

Real-time monitoring and dashboards with cost-saving licensing

SysTrack requires significant improvements. Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display. For instance, a machine's last reboot might be inaccurately shown as seven days ago instead of two days ago. Additionally, real-time data syncing issues lead to delays, requiring this to be addressed, as data might be several hours old.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Customer service is the best I have ever encountered from a software vendor."

"The most valuable feature for me is being able to monitor the productivity of every employee in the company as well as third-party, outsourced companies that work on our behalf."

"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."

"When employees complain of trouble with applications or devices, Aternity enables us to see exactly what they see as they engage with apps, allowing us to focus our troubleshooting and quickly perform fault domain isolation across branches, users, and applications."

"DEM-Q (Digital Experience Management Quadrant) is very useful. This is where they stand out with their dashboard, because it gives us a picture of how our company is doing compared to the other businesses out there."

"Aternity's Digital Experience Management Quadrant (DEM-Q) has been a game changer for us."

"The degree to which Aternity customer support is proactive is off the charts."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."

"We are using the SysTrack 'Prevent' module, which shows real-time discrepancies in the infrastructure."

"From a telemetry data standpoint, it's a perfect tool."

"The Resolve part is valuable. It allows the service desk team to perform a couple of fixes or things to mitigate an incident before it's escalated to L2 or L3. It's a cool feature. If you have the sensor activity for Outlook and something has gone wrong, even the service desk can take those steps."

"This is a great tool, but it's important that system admins have training on the product and use it regularly."

"I am impressed with the huge amount of information that you can get from the infrastructure."

"When a user calls in and says that they are having slowness issues, this tool has the capability to show exactly where the performance issue is. The Resolve feature that they have is very good. It is one of the main features. They are doing a pretty good job with the Resolve feature in terms of showing endpoint performance on various factors."

"It is a stable product. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten."

More SysTrack pros

Cons

"Schema is difficult to work with when constructing custom dashboards."

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

"For me, the biggest problem is the price. It is about Aternity only giving you 12 months upfront, and a lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing."

"The dashboards and navigatability of the platform could use improvement."

"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."

"The thing that I think most companies like ourselves would want would be an easier way to customize custom scripts."

"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures."

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

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"The tool needs to improve the integration with third-party providers like Cisco products."

"If I have my system running, and I'm changing my hardware in the VDI environment, I want to choose a date and see the difference before and after the event."

"The licensing model is problematic."

"A remote assistance tool is missing in SysTrack, and it could also be enhanced with the additional capabilities of creating customized self-healing sensors."

"Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem."

"There are a lot of issues with the solution and certain features such as the survey feature and sensors, that don't work well and need to be improved."

"Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem. They should have given an option to integrate it with some of the tools such as Power BI. Unfortunately, they are developing their own native dashboarding capabilities, which is killing them, in my view. The product is good, but dashboarding has been a pain area. I have to literally learn a new BI or dashboarding solution just for a system. We have 100 such kinds of solutions in our environment. If every solution has its custom solution for dashboarding, we can't survive. It is going to be crazy."

"If they can integrate some kind of remote administration tool, like the LogMeIn tool, it would be helpful for the DDS team members, as well as for the global team members. We need not search for an additional tool for troubleshooting purposes. Currently, we are using one tool for governance and then we have SysTrack for monitoring the endpoints. There are two tools, and we are spending money on both."

More SysTrack cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."

"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."

"It’s a little on the costly side, but if you license intelligently, accounting for your various hosts connecting in through VDI or terminal servers, you can make it well worth your money."

"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost. However, it is not cheap, especially when you want to install it on all your endpoints."

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

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"It is somewhat expensive."

"It is on a per-device basis. It is not on a per-user basis. I was not much engaged in the licensing piece. I was only a part of the conversation about how we are going to scale up or down, but its price, for sure, is competitive."

"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"If you compare cloud solutions to SysTrack, which is on-premises, then SysTrack is cheaper. If you compare the cost of SysTrack with that of other similar solutions, the cost is similar. For each master server, there's a license. In terms of end user devices, the licenses are sold in multiplications of 10. That's one upfront cost. Once you procure the license, you can use the software for as long as you like. The maintenance is sold on an annual basis. Additional costs are related to hosting and include a SQL server license and Windows server licenses."
