Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code).""Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable.""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.""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."

"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up.""Technical support is helpful.""A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure.""It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale.""The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions.""We like this searchability and availability of the data.""The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera.""For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."

Cons
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""The technical support is not very good and should be improved.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features.""We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""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."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Cons →

"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?).""n comparison to New Relic, which I've used before, it's a bit more complicated. It's not as easy to use. It also took some time to get it working. The implementation needs to be simpler.""In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users.""The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners.""Lacks information including details related to where problems lie.""The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors.""The default interface should be improved.""We cannot use AI services with the solution."

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."
