We performed a comparison between Alluvio AppResponse and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"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."
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"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."
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"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."
"We really like the scalability capabilities."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard interface. It's very clean, it's very simple to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."
"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 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."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"We've had some issues previously with the performance of the sensors. We tend to deploy quite a bit of WMI, which is quite processor-intensive, and we've found that that impacts the sensors quite a bit."
