Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"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."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"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 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."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"Custom script toolkits"
"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."
"It's also easy to implement. The implementation of Geneos is very easy and interesting. It's not complicated. It's very quick to implement. The installation is very easy. There are many topics about ITRS Geneos that explain more about the features of the function of Geneos."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"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."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"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."
"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."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"ITRS have started to make some major changes that we haven't taken on board yet, in the creation of dashboards and more visibility of the metrics that we collect. At the moment, that's something that's lacking, but I know they have addressed it. Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."
"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
"The deployment method for upgrading is a bit tricky. It takes a little bit of manual effort. If that could be a bit more automated, it would help us a lot."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
