It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now with the features given through up.time we have over 300 + monitors constantly checking every environment that we have and also checking databases for errors."
"Customer Service: 5 stars! Excellent. Technical Support: 5 stars! Excellent."
"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"Easy to setup and begin monitoring."
"Unified Monitoring Application Performance Management End User Monitoring Infrastructure Visibility Application Analytics Business Insights: real-time insights into IT operations, customer experience and business outcome."
"It’s great that APM monitors in real-time, and when we have an issue, we find out fairly quickly if there's a problem with our hardware."
"We became 100% dependent on AppDynamics after we started using it."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"AppDynamics will assist the company in managing its overall systems, capabilities, and performance."
"The business transactions feature has helped us stay current with the trends in traffic, and we were able to separate successful transactions from non-successful transactions, such as transactions with 200 error codes and 500 error codes, which has been very beneficial to us."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very scalable, and you can get the performance data from the end users, so it provides a proper way to analyze data from different regions."
 

Cons

"Maintenance windows need to be streamlined."
"While you can restrict particular users to only see subsets of the reports, it isn't as easy as it could be."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"I would probably suggest making the tool more real-time and allowing for integration with a wider range of DevOps tools."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"We have not had stability issues for end-users, but for admins specifically, the UI can be slow, since they can see all applications/nodes/etc."
"Sometimes you get anomalies which are hard to explain and sometimes data seems to disappear, but except for that it is generally pretty good."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"The price could be slightly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
"The pricing needs to come down."
"The licensing cost is fairly high"
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
"I believe there was probably an extra charge whenever I wanted to contact the support team."
"The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
