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.

Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"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."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."
"Server uptime is its most valuable feature."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team."
"The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
 

Cons

"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"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 one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"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 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."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The price needs improvement."
"The pricing could be improved as it is quite high relative to what is offered."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
 

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 of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"This is an expensive product."
"This is an expensive tool."
"They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
