Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."
"The initial setup was straightforward and took minimal effort."
"The most valuable feature is the breakdown that it provides, such as a description of the fields for a particular transaction."
"Because we have partnerships with other partners, I can share a bit about what I've noticed with IBM APM compared to other vendor solutions. Specifically, with IBM, the visibility into detailed process information is more tangible. On the OS level, APM displays all processes (or the top 10 processes) that are consuming CPU or resident memory. This is the most important thing that is not always available with other vendors."
"The transaction tracking feature from IBM is the most important feature for us. It is something that provides a terrific value for us and our clients. It has a lot of data sources and agents that are collectors. It is also stable."
"IBM Application Performance Management helped us increased our response time by 80% and cost 60% less."
"It's easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"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."
"Its web user interface is a little bit old in comparison to other solutions, such as New Relic, and it should be improved. Its scalability and technical support should also be improved. Currently, it is scalable, but only in a vertical way. They provide good technical support, but the initial steps for a new case can be improved to fasten the resolution process."
"It's still missing some platforms. For example, if you look to applications itself, it is missing the interface."
"The demo that was provided to us is not working very well. At times, there are errors."
"Technical support can be slow and needs improvement."
"The stability is not great and should be better."
"They should focus on potentially enhancing the dashboard to make it more contemporary and adding some customization options. Furthermore, there might be room for improvement in the pricing policy."
"With APM, we noticed that the agent can cause a lot of issues for the application, making the agent very unreliable. Many issues are happening, and we've had to discuss it with support to try and get a fix. It affects application availability, and sometimes actions fail because of the agent, degrading the performance of the application."
