Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system""The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities.""It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems.""It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good.""It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams.""We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."

More Avada Software Infrared360 Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team.""The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information.""It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained.""The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us.""The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow.""It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously.""The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done.""One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."

Cons
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants.""We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place.""One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful.""The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems.""The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved.""Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."

More Avada Software Infrared360 Cons →

"The solution is quite expensive.""They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps.""The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts.""The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load.""Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application.""Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment.""They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself.""The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
  • "Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
  • "Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
  • "Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."
  • More Avada Software Infrared360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."

    Top Answer:It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users.
    Top Answer:The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises. Therefore, they should assess supporting the licensing on-premises as well.

    Overview

    Avada Software specializes in Enterprise Middleware solutions. Founded by some pioneers in SOA, MQ and J2EE technology, Avada’s Flagship product, Infrared360, is a holistic & innovative private cloud enabled portal providing self-service administration, monitoring, load testing, auditing & statistical reporting for Enterprise Middleware including IBM’s middleware stack of MQ, IIB (message broker), WAS, and Datapower, as well as other applications servers such as  JBoss, TC Server, Weblogic, and other messaging technologies such as Tibco EMS and Kafka*.

    Accessed via any web browser on any device, Infrared360 is a single web application, yet scales to 2500+ endpoints without deploying anything (no agents, no scripts) to those endpoints.

    Using trusted ‘spaces’ and delegated visibility and control, the portal uniquely provides different business units or even different application users virtual ‘spaces’ in which to work.  Within those spaces are only the objects and resources the user has been granted visibility.  Role policy dictates permissions on those resources.

    It is the ONLY Enterprise Messaging Solution with a built in SOA engine that lets you leverage internal and external services for managing and correcting problems within your middleware messaging environment.
