Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.
Shamim Alsharif - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance Test Engineer at TANIM CONSULTING, LLC
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

"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"Insights outside of the code we write."
"We are so much faster in responding to issues than we've ever been before."
"It's one of the best database monitoring solution I've ever seen."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"The main benefits from Splunk AppDynamics for my end users, mainly the application team, are that it helps identify bottlenecks proactively and allows for configuration of proper health rules to address issues before they affect customers."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times, and if a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"Server Monitoring has saved us time."
"Although the solution is expensive, the ROI makes it more cost effective."
 

Cons

"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"I don't really use AI-powered anomaly detection and root cause analysis for diagnosing performance issues because it makes many mistakes in my case, due to the nature of my work."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud and on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"This product has an issue with initial lag upon opening that we would like to see improved."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"I have seen many good aspects of the product and many advantages, while also identifying areas for improvement or concerns with the product."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"It does require licensing to be paid."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"As compared to other applications, its price is moderate. Its price is neither very high nor very low."
"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."
"There is a license to use this solution. However, the clients pay for the licenses we are the service provider."
"We buy the platform's yearly subscription."
"Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
