JM
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.
Jay Vekaria - PeerSpot reviewer
High performance, quick setup, but lacking ease of use
Some of the functions could improve by making them easier. There is room for improvement when it comes to the graphs provided by the software. Additionally, there seems to be an issue with the ping status, as it sometimes indicates that a website is down even when it is functioning properly. It appears that there are certain aspects related to cache management or other backend functionalities that are unclear. The time range graph and overall user interface could be more user-friendly. For example, when selecting a custom graph for a specific time period, clicking on it should open the corresponding website in a new tab, but instead, it displays the current graph. This lack of consistency can be frustrating when trying to navigate the interface. Furthermore, the reports shared on a weekly basis arrive one week late, reducing their usefulness. Overall, some extra efforts are required to make the user experience smoother and more efficient.
