Provides an accurate view into the user experience for Siebel Open UI and Java
Because Germain APM is capable of collecting and parsing data points from many areas (O/S, database, application logs, browser clicks, network devices, etc.) one can quickly overwhelm their Germain infrastructure. This is not so much an area of improvement for the product but more for clients to keep in mind so that they size their Germain infrastructure properly.

Sales manager at Prodeo Innovation
Integrates well with IBM technologies, but it's outdated and lacks essential features
Implementing synthetic monitoring for our Internet banking site has been challenging. The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively. I have concerns about the complexity of the tool and the challenges in managing it effectively. The support provided is not satisfactory, and the specialists available lack sufficient training and expertise in using the tool.
