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.""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.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""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 most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"

"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature.""Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better.""The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues.""The feature that is most valuable to us is the snapshot feature. It allows us to get a snapshot of different SQL scripts that are being executed simultaneously and we can identify everything we need on them.""The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions.""Data monitoring is the most valuable feature.""What I found valuable in AppDynamics Database Monitoring is good technical support. I also like that it's scalable and stable."

Cons
"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.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""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.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side.""The scalability could be improved.""AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture.""The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better.""I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements.""The user access management could be a bit better.""Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5.""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."

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 →

  • "In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is based on the size of the deployment."
  • "There is an annual cost for the use of this solution."
  • "It could be a bit lower, but looking at the scalability, functionality, and other things, you can understand why AppDynamics is so expensive as compared to some of the cheaper products that don't have that full single pane of glass they've got. Dynatrace has got three different elements that you need to log into just to get a full view, which is not so good, and because of that, it is a bit cheaper."
  • "The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
  • "We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."
  • "The license for AppDynamics is procured by our customers."
  • "We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
