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 Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display.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 features for us are the Incident Management dashboard, Application Status dashboard, and Activity Analysis UI."

"Some of the biggest things I like about the software is that it’s simple to use and you can learn it in a few hours."

"Alluvio Aternity provides predictive analysis and trend analysis for IT teams to evaluate the performance of hardware and applications."

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

"The most useful function in Alluvio Aternity is that it allows the customer to easily track and get visibility of whether the application an end-user is accessing is performing well or not."

"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 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 item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports, as they provide a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"When a user calls in and says that they are having slowness issues, this tool has the capability to show exactly where the performance issue is. The Resolve feature that they have is very good. It is one of the main features. They are doing a pretty good job with the Resolve feature in terms of showing endpoint performance on various factors."

"SysTrack provides unique, real-time data."

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

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

"From a telemetry data standpoint, it's a perfect tool."

"I am impressed with the huge amount of information that you can get from the infrastructure."

"It is a very powerful tool that will make your life easier."

"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

"The licensing model doesn't suit the market we are in and has room for improvement."

"When they moved from Version 8 to Version 9, the customers lost so much control of what they could do with the product."

"Riverbed is costly in the Indian market; I would rate the pricing for Alluvio Aternity as a higher price."

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

"Schema is difficult to work with when constructing custom dashboards."

"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."

"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."

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

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"Certain features haven't been tested sufficiently and don't work well."

"The interface needs to be improved because it looks ancient. If you have been working in IT for a long time, over 20 years, you might remember products from the start of your career that look almost identical to the way SysTrack looks now. The user interface is not user-friendly. When you first see the solution, it overwhelms you with everything. It's not easy to use, and it's not that intuitive."

"The licensing model is problematic."

"If I have my system running, and I'm changing my hardware in the VDI environment, I want to choose a date and see the difference before and after the event."

"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. It doesn't tell us how many nanoseconds, seconds, or minutes it is taking to process or apply a GPO on a machine. This feature is not there. When there are major issues, if we have the processing time in place, it will help us to identify whether it could be an issue with the domain controller or something else. It would give us a clear understanding to engage other teams for resolving the issue."

"SysTrack isn't stable enough. There are too many upgrades, and not all versions are stable."

"Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem."

"A remote assistance tool is missing in SysTrack, and it could also be enhanced with the additional capabilities of creating customized self-healing sensors."

More SysTrack cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

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

"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."

"It is somewhat expensive."
