"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."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"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."
"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."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"The solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"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."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."
"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."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
