Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"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."
"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."
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."
"Custom script toolkits"
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"Ability to monitor logs for potential issues to prevent app outages before problems get a chance to arise. That's invaluable for our teams in a fast-paced trading environment."
"The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."
"Geneos automatically sends email notifications when any batch job fails, the database is down or the website is down. It is automatically monitoring everything and reduces manual effort."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"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 needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"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 ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"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 one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files. When you are testing log files for regular expressions, it would be good to be able to do a quick check up front on that side of things before you release that into production."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
