Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"I have found the AppResponse, which is a packet capture solution, very good. It gives you the ability to drill down back in time. You've got all the packets there. You can troubleshoot it later, not immediately. It's very interesting.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse."

More Alluvio AppResponse Pros →

"It gives me the MOS, latency, and jitter.""It is a scalable solution.""The packet capture is the most valuable feature for us. It gathers data from the device. In case somebody has a problem, I can go back X amount of time - days, hours - and get the data to do real troubleshooting.""The quick drill-down views are similar to Wireshark views. Those are quite nice, with the views on how you interpret some of the data. The granularity of how far you can drill down into milliseconds or microseconds is a very nice feature. It actually stores quite a lot of data in its database.""Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down.""Packet decode and bandwidth analysis reports are the two most valuable features.""Among the valuable features, if it's TAP'ed well, are the density of the data that you can get and the relatively high veracity or accuracy rate that we see from it.""From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The technical support could improve a bit with quicker responses for early on questions. What I think are simple questions are taking a long time to get answers to.""There are so many features that it makes it hard to know it all. You end up paying for things that you don't use and probably don't even need. It might be better if Netscout came up with a modular way to pay for what you're going to use and not pay for all of this "white elephant" without being able to take advantage of all of it.""Initially, we were having a lot of issues with bugs when using version 6.1.1. There were a lot of problems with the dashboard causing confusion. We worked with our SE and the NETSCOUT engineering team to fix the visibility with the data. There should be a patch release to fix this issue. However, this seems to be working fine for us right now after the 6.2.2 upgrade.""There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes.""They can improve still on the workflows, document their workflows that are commonly used... We don't know some of the workflows yet, and it's not something that you can just read up in the manual. There is some stuff in the help manual and online, but it's to a point where you need to purchase extra training and services from them. You can't just go and read up on it yourself and learn from A to Z...""For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages. There is a little bit of room for improvement there.""nGeniusONE could be improved by reducing the number of bare metal servers required to run it. Currently, you need a separate bare metal server for each of the following: Xfinity, ISNG, nGeniusONE, and CFS. It would be more cost-effective and less complex if all of these functionalities could be combined into a single bare metal server.""Its initial setup process is complicated."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
  • "The solution is no more expensive than other products."
  • "It is costly for small and medium businesses."
  • More Alluvio AppResponse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you are able and you are willing to use everything that Netscout provides to you, it's probably a relatively fair price. The problem is that it's such a large and such a complex tool that I'm not sure that many companies would be able to use it entirely, the way it's expected to be used."
  • "Like any company, we always want better pricing. The pricing is okay, but it's not a cheap solution. When you want to deploy it across an enterprise as large as ours, you go into seven figures. It's not a cheap solution to get out there."
  • "Their pricing is very competitive with other solutions... But what I like about NETSCOUT's licensing is that it's shared across all their platforms. They don't create a new licensing scheme for every one of their products. So for nGeniusONE, you buy a certain license level, and it works on all of their products."
  • "Cost is probably the biggest drawback. Compared to some of the newer vendors that have popped up in the space, it's definitely more on the expensive side... [But] it's been able to keep its value, even in the face of the cheaper competition."
  • "The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense."
  • "It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable."
  • "It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money."
  • "It is a little overall pricey and expensive, but you get what you pay for."
