Cons
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""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.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""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.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"Lacking sufficient operations documentation.""It could be even more automated.""The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient.""The logging functionality could be better.""While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace.""This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana.""It could be more stable.""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."
