The initial migration and the initial days of monitoring Catchpoint involved having a dedicated TAM and a dedicated support number that could give us quick answers.

Room For Improvement

Alluvio Aternity requires simpler interfaces, improved custom reporting, flexible licensing, better integrations, and enhanced data visualization features.

Catchpoint needs improvements in setup, user experience, navigation, API integration, pricing models, and international monitoring for better efficiency.

The integration of AI agents could enhance these tools further, replacing traditional agents and plugins.

Consultant at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees

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.

Technical Lead Pre-Sales at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.

This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA.

If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.

There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.

Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.

The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.

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

Technical Lead Pre-Sales at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.

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.

Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights

Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.
