Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""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.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""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."

"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems.""The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey.""The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions.""It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base.""The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring.""The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution.""AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring provides smooth connectivity to different applications.""One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."

Cons
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""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.""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.""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.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""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."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications.""We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings.""AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine.""What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution.""While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support.""They do not have robust documentation.""The pricing falls within the mid-range category.""I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
