Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance

In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.

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

"Alluvio Aternity is stable."

"The dashboards of this platform are the most valuable, especially the Desktop Health dashboard."

"While it also provides desktop metrics, the main thing we use it for is monitoring our applications."

"We've looked at the Digital Experience Management Quadrant (DEM-Q) to see how our digital experience compares to others who use the solution. We have used that to see how we are trending and it gives us some insight into areas that we might need to focus more on. That's helpful."

"DEM-Q (Digital Experience Management Quadrant) is very useful. This is where they stand out with their dashboard, because it gives us a picture of how our company is doing compared to the other businesses out there."

"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."

"There are also built-in activities that let you measure things like preview mail, open address book, and send mail. Those are the activities that we are able to get measurements on, and those are things we have not seen in other software monitoring tools."

"The most valuable features for us are the Incident Management dashboard, Application Status dashboard, and Activity Analysis UI."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"We provide software testing services to third-party organizations with HP AppPulse, where we can see the real user experience live and identify low UI performance, stability problems, or high resource consumption on one screen."

"Customers are seeing the benefits immediately, mainly in the back office."

"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."

"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."

"I tested other products but HP offers the best bang for the buck."

"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."

"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."

"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."

Cons

"The solution is available at a higher price than other solutions."

"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement. The standard reports that are given are not the greatest, and no custom ones can be created; however, I am told that the latest version of Aternity offers this!"

"They have a lot of features built into the product, but it would be nice if they had some additional features that I think a lot of organizations would benefit from."

"They need to revamp their whole sales, management, and technical support. Their technology is fine. It's the associates around it that make it not worth my while."

"Being able to add custom monitoring to dashboards would be nice. Right now, if you want to monitor the value of a registry key on your systems, to get that added into the dashboard you have to reach out to Aternity so they can start looking for that value. It would be interesting if that were more of a self-serve function."

"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost."

"I think the workflow needs improvement"

"The other place for improvement, as an on-prem, non-SaaS customer, is that the system administration and management in Aternity are very difficult. They've even told me that most of their support calls come in due to configuration and system administration on their on-prem. Their on-prem solution is not easy to use."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

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

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

"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."

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

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

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

"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."

"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing cost is very low. That's one of the reasons why we have kept it for so long. We get more than a 70% discount on the maintenance licenses. Its cost is very low for us, but if you buy it new, it would be much more expensive at the retail price."

"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."

"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost. However, it is not cheap, especially when you want to install it on all your endpoints."

"If the scale of your monitoring will be to go everywhere in an organization, a site license is key."

"Our management squeezed Aternity pretty hard on the pricing, in my opinion a little too much. I advise negotiating for sure, but I do think it left kind of a sour taste in Aternity’s mouth that we were being so pushy despite the fact that we were only purchasing a small number of licenses."

"The pricing is reasonable for the value that it gives because it does allow you to measure the cost ramifications of direct productivity loss for spends in both your infrastructure and on endpoints."

"We always try to reduce costs and purchase the Alluvio Aternity Essentials license."

"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."

"It was a no-brainer from a cost perspective compared to the other tools that we buy as an IT organization."
