We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues.""This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises.""The solution's technical support is very good.""A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen.""We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network.""Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable.""The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."

"The most valuable feature is that it helps us to better forecast and reduce costs.""I like the granularity of the tools.""Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions.""The interface is good, and it's easy to manage.""Cost management is the console's most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is cost optimization.""We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements.""The most valuable aspect of Azure Cost Management for me is the cost-saving recommendations based on our usage patterns."

Cons
"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes.""I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards.""Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that.""Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities.""AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports.""Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem.""I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."

More AppNeta by Broadcom Cons →

"Azure Cost Management is expensive.""The policy-based remediation is probably the biggest area where Azure is lacking and that's why we sell a lot of our technology to our customers.""Stability is an area in the solution that lacks in certain areas. So, it needs to be improved.""The dashboard could be improved.""The solution's technical support should be faster, more knowledgeable, and customer-friendly.""The tool's pricing should be made cheaper.""The product's licensing cost could be improved.""Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I inherited this from a different version, and I haven't yet gone through a renewal because we had purchased three years upfront. So, to me, that still remains to be seen. Once it comes up for renewal, we'll see what happens. Especially because now it is Broadcom, it is going to change anyway."
  • "Broadcom software is always a little expensive because they provide quality."
  • "We typically don't get involved in the commercial side, but the list price is probably something like $3,000 for a small probe. However, that gives all of the features that the probe can do, whether or not you use them. In the old days, up until two or three years ago, each of the separate features was a separately licensable module so that you could add things that you wanted, and you didn't have to add things that you didn't want. They've changed all that now, and everything the probe can do is a part of the base license."
  • "The small probe is probably around $3,000 and the very large probe that they make for massive data centers might be $50,000 or $60,000. It's a subscription model, so the payment is per year."
  • "It's worth the money."
  • "I find the solution's price to be fairly good."
  • "AppNeta by Broadcom is not expensive."

  • "It's free out of the box."
  • "I think the solution was free initially."
  • "Based on the transitional cost we charge, it's not expensive, but could be better."
  • "The solution is free. It's part of having an Azure subscription."
  • "I give the solution's overall cost an eight out of ten."
  • "I rate the price of Azure Cost Management an eight out of ten."
  • "Customers do not need to pay for the product's license, and the product is free of cost."
  • "The tool's pricing is yearly."
