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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This tool has great scaling capabilities, i.e., no limitations."

"From a testing standpoint, ignoring license and cost issues, it's not a bad product."

"We launched the Take It app in France last June, and we had 10,000 active users, five percent of our users experienced crashes, so we decided to add AppPulse Mobile to our app, and crashes dropped from five to 0.44 percent while during the same time period our users jumped to 120,000."

"The benefits are the ease of integration into OMI, the speed of the deployment, and the quick ROI in value that it adds in a space where we were kind of flying blind before we had it."

"What we learned is that the analytics are more important than the app itself."

"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications, for some applications we've never been able to monitor before, some older legacy applications."

"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."

"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."

"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."

"The support that we get from HP is tremendous compared to other HP support – lots of good people that can give answers."

Cons

"My concern is with Automation integration."

"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."

"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."

"The only other thing that would come to mind is the ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."

"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."

"In the next release, I would like to see heat-map tracking."

"I would like to see more reporting and analytics."

"However, false positives is definitely something you will need to watch out for."

"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
