Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""I have found the AppResponse, which is a packet capture solution, very good. It gives you the ability to drill down back in time. You've got all the packets there. You can troubleshoot it later, not immediately. It's very interesting.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""We really like the scalability capabilities.""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.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."

Cons
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""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.""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.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
