We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it.""The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers.""It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application.""It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens.""The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process.""AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications.""The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."

"It's easy to use.""The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use.""We find the solution to be stable.""I like the monitoring feature.""Google's technical support is very good.""The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports.""Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well.""The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."

Cons
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""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 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 regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.""It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical.""The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."

"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace.""This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana.""The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient.""The logging functionality could be better.""It could be more stable.""Lacking sufficient operations documentation.""If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver.""It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
