"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It could be even more automated."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It could be more stable."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"The logging functionality could be better."
