Akhilesh Mishra

Technical Lead at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.

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

"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."

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

"Aternity's Digital Experience Management Quadrant (DEM-Q) has been a game changer for us. While knowing your own metrics is nice, if you don't know how you compare to others or what the numbers should be, then it doesn't tell you much. This solution puts that into context (if we are doing better than others or worse), which helps us prioritize where we want to focus and do improvements versus that's just how slow it's supposed to be. It's also great in communicating what we are doing and why we're doing it to our IT leadership teams, by saying, while we're pretty far behind others in certain categories, the time and changes for our prioritizations are justified."

"The most valuable feature is the alerting. As soon as we click on an incident, it takes us directly to the problematic PC. It's a direct solution. We click on an alert and it takes us to the incident details. The details show in different colors, in a graphical representation, and I like that the most."

"The ability to monitor crash and health event issues at a user level"

"This is the only tool we use to show us what the user is doing."

"Aternity easily provides visibility of all the endpoint machines to my clients."

"The user experience it provides is the most valuable feature for us."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"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."

"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."

"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."

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

"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."

"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."

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

"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."

Cons

"Some of the dashboarding and reporting on the analytics side could be improved. I think they realize it. Obviously, some of the desktop monitoring metrics always can be improved."

"I can see the location and computer model and I can see a bunch of different attributes. But one thing I can't see is the Internet Explorer version."

"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."

"Their technical support structure is terrible. I would give them a rating of 2/5."

"They've additionally added some great color coding, but they need to explain better and drive down further on the meanings of this workflow."

"I would like to see more granular performance counters collected and viewable from the endpoints."

"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."

"We haven't had any outages of the SaaS environment, but what we're struggling with now is the stability of the agent."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"There are some cases where the product cannot perform an analysis initially, and this may be a stability issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not a cheap product. There are no two ways about that. If you compare it with a couple of the other solutions operating in the space, it might be on the slightly more expensive side, but it is one of those tools where, once you've got it, you understand the true value. You will get that money back."

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

"The pricing is fair."

"I thought the price for Alluvio Aternity was reasonable, but we had difficulty selling it in our market due to the minimum number of agents required for deployment, which I believe was around 500."

"In my opinion they are asking a lot for their SaaS solution, but I also know that that's the direction they're going... The current, on-prem solution is probably a fair price."

"Pricing is a bit high. Don't take that as the "be all, end all"."

"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."

"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."

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