Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"We really like the scalability capabilities."
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."
"The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
