We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""I have found the AppResponse, which is a packet capture solution, very good. It gives you the ability to drill down back in time. You've got all the packets there. You can troubleshoot it later, not immediately. It's very interesting.""With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"

"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis.""It has always been a stable solution.""The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization.""Good design and easy to use once implemented.""Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds.""Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions.""The solution has been stable in our usage."

Cons
"Technical support needs to be more responsive.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The cost must be made more transparent.""Elastic Observability’s price could be improved.""If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful.""Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included.""Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema.""The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages.""There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
  • "The solution is no more expensive than other products."
  • "It is costly for small and medium businesses."
  • More Alluvio AppResponse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
  • "There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
  • "Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
  • "The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
  • "Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
  • "One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
  • "Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
  • "We will buy a premium license after POC."
