AppNeta by Broadcom vs SolarWinds ipMonitor comparison

"Every experience that I have had with them has been outstanding."

"No other company has been able to match AppNeta's capability at the same price point."

"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."

"From a technical perspective, PathView provides an effective, reliable indicator of network availability across our widely distributed physical locations."

"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."

"Pathview is the most valuable feature."

"Since we implemented it, we've seen multiple performance improvements, which in turn results in increases in revenue and efficiency."

"The solution's technical support is very good."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"The initial setup is very straightforward and it is easy to add nodes."

"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."

"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."

"It needs more improvements in monitoring of video streaming performance as well as more layers of breakdown in the front end performance."

"Fully monitoring asymmetrical links is more costly and complex than symmetrical ones."

"The initial setup is complex."

"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."

"The VMware version doesn’t support video, so we have to ship hardware to remote locations."

"Alerting. We have so many paths in our environment that it is strictly a reactive tool, not proactive."

"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."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"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."

"I find the solution's price to be fairly good."

"Broadcom software is always a little expensive because they provide quality."

"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."

"AppNeta by Broadcom is not expensive."

"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."

"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."
