Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""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 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.""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code).""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly.""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."

"It's easy to use.""The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports.""I like the monitoring feature.""Google's technical support is very good.""Provides visibility into the performance uptime.""The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS.""Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well.""We find the solution to be stable."

Cons
"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.""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.""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 recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""The technical support is not very good and should be improved."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Cons →

"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost.""While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace.""The logging functionality could be better.""If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver.""It could be more stable.""Lacking sufficient operations documentation.""It could be even more automated.""The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."

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 →

  • "The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."
  • "The cost could be lower."
  • "We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."

    Top Answer:It could be even more automated. For instance, the moment you deploy something, the monitoring can be there for everything. You will just have to launch or click the console in the morning, and then… more »

    Overview

    Simplified high-definition APM visibility leveraging Real User Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, and OpenTelemetry, that is scalable, easy to use and deploy, and unifies insights across end users, applications, networks, and the cloud-native ecosystem

    Real-time log management and analysis

    Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.

    Built-in metrics observability at scale

    Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.

    Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus

    Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.

    Monitor and improve your application's performance

    Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.
