We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL] and NETSCOUT nGeniusONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"The visual and graphical interfaces in the display that it provides for us to show our senior leadership. We can show them what is actually happening, instead of a spreadsheet."
"It catches bigger issues on a weekly basis. That's how often we find something big enough that the only reason we know about it is because of the nGeniusONE. The bigger issues are mostly security-type issues: Odd traffic leaving our network or coming into it, that has found its way past a firewall."
"It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable features are visibility, real-time, on-demand."
"The stability of this product is ok."
"We've saved a lot of time in triaging. We have found root cause identities on packet captures and have been able to feed that information back to a specific vendor, because a lot of our technology is emerging. So, we're able to give that feedback to our vendors and have them solve the problems that they need to fix, and they have the evidence to do so."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to drill down into any kind of troubles that are reported to us, by use of identifiers."
"We are using nGeniusONE to run our bandwidth capacity management reports. In the past, we used to be very reactive, we used to depend a lot on suppliers to tell us which sites are our hot sites, meaning, which have high bandwidth utilization. Now we do this in a much more proactive way and we are moving to a more predictive approach in that aspect, thanks to nGeniusONE."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"The current solution is not easy to scale, because it is an appliance-based solution. So, you have to swap everything out."
"The solution could do more for security. It should offer more security-related features."
"There was a point in GTP where we were creating services on nodes and after that we wanted to have services on APN. We can't have both... There are some limitations with these types of things. When we would like to use a feature, we have to remove another one."
"NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's pricing is higher compared to the competitors. It is more than 15-18 percent of competitor costs. It also needs to add AI features."
"The dependency mapping is good, but I am hopeful that they will build some type of partnership and relationship with ServiceNow. I want to see NETSCOUT partner with ServiceNow so they can leverage Service Now Discovery and Service Mapping to automate the build of the service dependency mappings inside of nGeniusONE."
"One of the products we use is SolarWinds, and it provides a very cool mapping of an agent from end-to-end. If NETSCOUT could somehow implement that into their design... make it quicker and easier to get those net paths, it would be huge."
"Initial setup was complex."
"For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there."
