We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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 application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""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.""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.""AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."

"People are very pleased with the implementation.""Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes.""This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private.""No issues with stability.""The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation.""The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility.""For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."

Cons
"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 one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime.""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.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""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."

"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack.""It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality.""The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high.""The initial setup should be easier and more seamless.""In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get.""The implementation is a long process that should be improved.""They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us.""The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It was a no-brainer from a cost perspective compared to the other tools that we buy as an IT organization."
  • More AppPulse Suite [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Different locations require different setups. In your terms, around 300 to around 400K USD."
  • "I don't have the details. In our case, there is a mixture in place. We have production usage, and we are also doing training for VMware. So, we also have a training instance. It is worth the money you would spend on it. That's because if you were to build all of this yourself by using some of the open source tools, then you would need a lot of time."
  • "The licensing costs are very high, particularly when you consider that we have to purchase a level 1 license for every integration, such as the load balancer, HAProxy, and the MSSP. And if you want to use vSAN, that's another license. Then, of course, Tanzu Observability has its own separate license."
  • "I would rate the pricing as three out of five."
