Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Alluvio Aternity and SysTrack compete in the application and endpoint monitoring industry. SysTrack appears to have the upper hand due to its detailed insights into infrastructure performance and competitive pricing.

Features: Alluvio Aternity excels with its application monitoring, customizable dashboards, and real-time data collection, focusing on user behavior. SysTrack provides robust endpoint monitoring with features such as Black Box, Resolve, and user experience metrics, offering deep insights into device performance.

Room for Improvement: Alluvio Aternity is critiqued for its dashboard's user-friendliness and integration with other platforms. SysTrack's dashboard is seen as inflexible with a less modern interface and needs improved integration with third-party tools.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Alluvio Aternity offers both on-premises and cloud-based deployments but has been noted for responsiveness issues in technical support. SysTrack also provides similar deployment options and is praised for knowledgeable support, though response times could improve for high urgency issues.

Pricing and ROI: Alluvio Aternity is a premium solution with subscription and on-premises licensing. Users find it costly yet justified by its features. SysTrack has a per-device pricing model and is deemed expensive by some, yet its comprehensive insights often result in higher ROI.

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.

Real-time monitoring and dashboards with cost-saving licensing

SysTrack requires significant improvements. Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display. For instance, a machine's last reboot might be inaccurately shown as seven days ago instead of two days ago. Additionally, real-time data syncing issues lead to delays, requiring this to be addressed, as data might be several hours old.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."

"It is very good in terms of performance; you don't have to wait forever to try and get reports or results, and it is quite quick to get everything that you need out of the software."

"The two most valuable features for us are its abilities to validate the customer experience and to measure performance before and after upgrades."

"Customer service is the best I have ever encountered from a software vendor."

"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."

"Desktop monitoring, and being able to understand the performance of applications that runs on the desktop."

"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."

"We have seen return on our investment with Aternity."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"SysTrack gathers a lot of different metrics on every single device including performance metrics and application-related metrics such as application usage and resource utilization by applications. It collects a wide range of different metrics, and from that perspective, it's a really good tool."

"SysTrack is a BI solution for endpoints; we use it to understand the user experience at the company and user level."

"This is a powerful digital experience monitoring tool and it tracks everything."

"When you search for a machine or a user, the way we get the information is very helpful. The GUI provides us with all the information about that machine that a user is accessing. It tells us about the CPU, memory, etc. The GUI and the details provided are very helpful."

"SysTrack saves significant time for our personnel by reducing the ticket handling time by approximately seventy percent."

"It is a stable product. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten."

"SysTrack monitors user experience and represents it in the form of a composite score. The scores are placed on a timeline, so you can see how it has gotten better or worse compared to two weeks ago. It gives you a score at the personal, unit, and organizational levels. For example, the score for my entire organization in SysTrack is 77. It's also effective for monitoring user experience and resources in a VDI environment."

"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."

More SysTrack pros

Cons

"I would like Alluvio Aternity to be certified by the IRAP for petrol companies in Australia."

"Signature development process requires deep technical expertise in the application and in the use of their studio tools that help you create it."

"The only thing I can say which has been frustrating are the Tableau workspace/dashboard options out-of-the-box, at least prior to version 8."

"The dashboards and navigatability of the platform could use improvement. It often takes five or six clicks to drill down to exactly what you want to see."

"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."

"To monitor these transactions, you need to look at it, analyze it and capture it. It requires a little bit of work, but in an environment like ours, you need it to be easier."

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

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

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"There are a lot of issues with the solution and certain features such as the survey feature and sensors, that don't work well and need to be improved."

"The tool needs to improve the integration with third-party providers like Cisco products."

"If they can integrate some kind of remote administration tool, like the LogMeIn tool, it would be helpful for the DDS team members, as well as for the global team members. We need not search for an additional tool for troubleshooting purposes. Currently, we are using one tool for governance and then we have SysTrack for monitoring the endpoints. There are two tools, and we are spending money on both."

"When I create a dashboard for a computer-based GPO or user-based GPO, I get details of all the GPOs, but the feature that we found missing is that SysTrack doesn't state how many seconds were required to apply a GPO."

"One thing from a layman's standpoint, the report should be very clear."

"Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem. They should have given an option to integrate it with some of the tools such as Power BI. Unfortunately, they are developing their own native dashboarding capabilities, which is killing them, in my view. The product is good, but dashboarding has been a pain area. I have to literally learn a new BI or dashboarding solution just for a system. We have 100 such kinds of solutions in our environment. If every solution has its custom solution for dashboarding, we can't survive. It is going to be crazy."

"The licensing model is problematic."

"Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display."

More SysTrack cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"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’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."

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

"The pricing is fair."

"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."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."

"It is on a per-device basis. It is not on a per-user basis. I was not much engaged in the licensing piece. I was only a part of the conversation about how we are going to scale up or down, but its price, for sure, is competitive."

"It is somewhat expensive."

"If you compare cloud solutions to SysTrack, which is on-premises, then SysTrack is cheaper. If you compare the cost of SysTrack with that of other similar solutions, the cost is similar. For each master server, there's a license. In terms of end user devices, the licenses are sold in multiplications of 10. That's one upfront cost. Once you procure the license, you can use the software for as long as you like. The maintenance is sold on an annual basis. Additional costs are related to hosting and include a SQL server license and Windows server licenses."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
