Helps me be proactive in solving a customer's problem before it even happens

This is a new solution by HP. It's less than two years, we're among the first to implement the solution, so I'm sure that there is a lot of room for enhancement and continuous improvement in the future. They have added a new feature, which was not part of the solution, which is they support what they call hybrid apps; before, it was only supporting native. That is something they work with your R & D, whereby they support this feature in the parent version of AppPulse.

Easy to set up with great custom dashboards but needs to improve non-.NET infrastructure

They need to improve non-.NET infrastructure. We always had difficulty when it comes to reporting or metrics that come from Linux operating systems and Docker containers. For anything that runs within the Unix environment, we always had problems with them, however, if it was a document-based application, Stackify was 100%, it gave everything. Now, the aggregation agent, the metric agent for Stackify for Linux, collects everything. When I say everything, I mean, everything. It collects so much information that we now started to term it as useless data as all that ingestion will just come in and overwhelm your log retention limit for the month and really this spike up your cost at the end of the month. You'll need to do a lot in order to train down the data coming in from all your Linux environments, to get to what you really need, which actually takes some time as well. I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines. Stackify has not really gotten that right, as far as I'm concerned. Netdata has done a better job and New Relic has also done a better job. They need to improve on that. We need to be able to see the individual resource usage of containers running within a particular host.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product has many valuable features, and it is very important for us to identify the response time, identify the different operating systems, the brand of the smart phones, and where customers are using them - not only in Mexico, but in different parts of the world."

"We provide software testing services to third-party organizations with HP AppPulse, where we can see the real user experience live and identify low UI performance, stability problems, or high resource consumption on one screen."

"I tested other products but HP offers the best bang for the buck."

"The benefits are the ease of integration into OMI, the speed of the deployment, and the quick ROI in value that it adds in a space where we were kind of flying blind before we had it."

"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."

"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."

"We launched the Take It app in France last June, and we had 10,000 active users, five percent of our users experienced crashes, so we decided to add AppPulse Mobile to our app, and crashes dropped from five to 0.44 percent while during the same time period our users jumped to 120,000."

"Customers are seeing the benefits immediately, mainly in the back office."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] pros

"The deployment is very fast."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

"We switched from New Relic and Loggly as it provides us more info at a lower price."

"What stood out to us were the metrics and granular details we received."

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."

More Stackify pros

Cons

"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 only other thing that would come to mind is the ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."

"There are some things I look forward to – alerts, service level management calculations, API so I can get the data from somewhere else rather than just the website, customizable time frame so I can adjust the date and time."

"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."

"I would like to see more reporting and analytics."

"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."

"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."

"In the next release, I would like to see heat-map tracking."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] cons

"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"The search feature could be improved."

"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."

"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."

"Better mobile support."

"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."

"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."

More Stackify cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was a no-brainer from a cost perspective compared to the other tools that we buy as an IT organization."

"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
