Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues.""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise.""Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc.""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly.""I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."

"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability.""The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search.""Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds.""The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests.""The solution has been stable in our usage.""We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical.""It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis.""The product has connectors to many services."

Cons
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now.""Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features.""They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported.""The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."

"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome.""There could be more low-code features included in the product.""There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities.""Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances.""The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper.""The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper.""They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base.""The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."

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 licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
  • More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
  • "There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
  • "Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
  • "The price of Elastic Observability is expensive."
  • "Users have to pay for some features, like the alerts on different channels, because they are unavailable in different source versions."
  • "One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
  • "Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
  • "We will buy a premium license after POC."
