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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a tool that helps me check users' computers really quickly without having a help desk administrator logging in and doing analysis. Anyone who has access to Aternity, including our support team, can log onto Aternity and do a quick, basic analysis."

"The most valuable feature of Alluvio Aternity is the compiling and displaying of end-user data so that we can utilize it to troubleshoot proactively."

"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."

"It's one of those rare, genuine products that does what it says on the tin."

"We have pictures from the backend, from a network or a server perspective, but we didn't have any user data; collecting that data manually was pretty time-intensive and relatively inaccurate, and with Aternity, we now have the data."

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

"The detailed level of information you are able to get on the complete environment all of the way down to a specific machine."

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

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"Nudge APM helps my organization to meet all SLA requirements, thanks to alert triggers."

"Gives us clear information on what is going wrong and where we need to focus to improve our applications, with real added value in our IT internal and external organization as we open Nudge APM dashboard to our outsourced suppliers."

"Great reduction in resolution time: proactive identification of errors before users send incidents."

"Performance management is a shared concern and APM tools must be used by all people involved in the build and run process."

Cons

"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."

"The thing that I think most companies like ourselves would want would be an easier way to customize custom scripts."

"It all comes in pretty nice looking charts and things, but we have a hard time pulling out hard data, which is usually what you'll need if you're trying to be actionable."

"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures. That process can be a little bit difficult. If one thing could be simplified a little bit, it would be the application monitoring signature creation process."

"Aternity doesn't currently provide metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps. It's something you have to build out. It's not 'canned' that way and there is a lot of configuration that you have to do to the environment to collect the data you want to collect and that is important to you."

"The solution's downloadable reports could be improved."

"The process of doing the application recording is a bit cumbersome."

"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."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"There is room for improvement on the portal to access the collected data, but it has already been enhanced with great zooming features."

"No automatic alerting"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to purchase it for 12 months, which is an issue because a lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. There are a few additional costs. A lot of customers only get the essential licenses, and then they get what they call the application add-ons on top. They have to pay depending on how many customers and applications they want to monitor."

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

"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."

"It’s a little on the costly side, but if you license intelligently, accounting for your various hosts connecting in through VDI or terminal servers, you can make it well worth your money."

"The pricing for the users and agents is reasonable compared to other solutions and vendors."

"The pricing is fair."

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

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