Helps me be proactive in solving a customer's problem before it even happens

This is a new solution by HP. It's less than two years, we're among the first to implement the solution, so I'm sure that there is a lot of room for enhancement and continuous improvement in the future. They have added a new feature, which was not part of the solution, which is they support what they call hybrid apps; before, it was only supporting native. That is something they work with your R & D, whereby they support this feature in the parent version of AppPulse.

Cons

"My concern is with Automation integration."

"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
