TABISH JAVED

Site Reliability Engineer (Certified) at Kyndryl India

Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover

Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis

The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."

"From a recovery standpoint, InfoScale is excellent and easy to manage."

"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."

"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."

"It's a stable solution."

"InfoScale's ability to maintain data integrity and availability during a cyber event such as a ransomware attack is excellent."

"The best feature in InfoScale is the file system, which is the greatest feature as you can get any storage LUN from any hardware because it's software-defined and create a volume that can consist of storage from two or more different vendors, which avoids any vendor lock-in and makes it easier when you expand as time goes."

"In a live incident scenario, the data replication process occurs in real-time, and compared to other products, this data replication feature works effectively, ensuring data availability, and we can implement this scenario using Veritas Volume Replication (VVR), which is the most usable feature in InfoScale for data replication."

More InfoScale pros

"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."

"AppDynamics allows users a complete application monitoring solution for making better products and applications."

"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."

"From a reporting and dashboarding perspective, their API, which is what I deal with the most, is unmatched by any company that I've come across."

"This practice has transitioned our testers to engineers."

"AppDynamics monitors the ICT environment by just installing a Java or .NET agent and machine agent on the server, shows how all the components in the infrastructure work together to run an application, and lets you pinpoint easily where the performance issues for your application are."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to take a report, and in particular, a visual, and link it to actual application performance and then the consequences. This means you can show how an incident or action has an effect on the business."

"It definitely helps us speed up our troubleshooting."

Cons

"Many customers can see the benefit of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to purchase the product because the license cost is very high."

"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."

"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit expensive, but rather than that, because it is used in critical environments with no competitor, most of the customers go for it anyways."

"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."

"It's very difficult to implement."

"It could be more stable and more secure."

More InfoScale cons

"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."

"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."

"The product lost its place as an industry leader."

"AppDynamics is a solution that requires extra learning and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, automated reports would helpful similar to have they have in Google Analytics."

"AppDynamics works very well with the on-premise technologies, but it is behind the curve in the emerging cloud features."

"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."

"The solution’s setup is a bit complex."

"The initial setup is not easy or straightforward. It's quite complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."

"The tool is expensive."

"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."

"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."

"For those who appreciate the value and had issues with the visibility of the performance of their applications, then the pricing is good. For somebody who does not need it, it can be pricey, but overall, it is worth the money which it costs."

"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."

"There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."

"There is an annual cost to use this solution. The licensing model could be improved by making it more cost-effective."

"AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
