Simple to use but incredibly powerful

Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems. Trending all SQL statements over time is invaluable to understand step changes. i.e is this slow because it is processing more or because an explain plan has changed.Dashboards and reports are very powerful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Transaction Tracing is the most useful; being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."

"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."

"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"

"By going to v10 it made our lives a whole lot easier because prior to v10, we had to put all of these assets, these Riverbed arguments, basically JVM start up itself."

"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."

"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."

"If you want to save time for problem resolution, and to address problem on your environments you should try Riverbed OPNET."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] pros

"Gives an excellent perspective on the state of the system at fault as well as the past!"

"Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems."

Cons

"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."

"It wasn't a critical issue, but it was hot enough to where it would have been nice to get some guidance from Riverbed, but they went ahead and let us down, but that was only one occasion."

"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."

"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."

"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."

"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."

"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."

"It's not as good as it was three years ago before meddling by an activist investor, privatization, and subsequent layoffs hurt support."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] cons

"Web monitoring could be more robust and intuitive."

"The user interface requires little change-but this problem is small compared to the capabilities of the tool"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."

"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
