"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""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.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""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.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"

More Alluvio AppResponse Pros →

"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory.""It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance.""The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage.""Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it.""The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it.""The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped.""The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable.""Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Technical support needs to be more responsive.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""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.""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."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified.""​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​""All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved.""We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve.""It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring.""Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components.""The price could be improved.""I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the SCOM solution.

    A Manager at a financial services firm says, “The feature I like most about SCOM is that it is easy-to-use. I find it very user-friendly. I also like the knowledge base which it has. You can find the resolution to questions or issues directly within the SCOM itself. It will alert you with a recommendation of what you need to do at the same time. This sort of self-diagnosis or prompting is one of the great values you get from SCOM compared to other solutions.”

    PeerSpot user Zahari Z., Information Technology Auditor at a financial services firm, mentions, “Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications. There is a mechanism to set up a notification from the SCOM and whenever there is a drop in the availability the notification alerts not only for availability but for other issues as well. You can align thresholds according to the speed of your environment and you can have a threshold related notification, which is one of the useful features.”

    Bill W., Sr. Systems Engineer at Arapahoe County Government, comments, “ I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time. When we patch, things are automatically put into maintenance mode so that the numbers for our systems being down, do not count against us.”

    A Project Manager at a tech services company explains, “The feature I have found most valuable is the book feature. While we run the Sprint one we can add some setups for multiple sprints.”

    A Systems Engineer at an educational organization states, “Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it.”
