Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""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.""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""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.""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.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."

"If a key monitored value has crossed a threshold, it sends out an alert. And the solution is able to intelligently find out if something is beyond the range that it normally resides in.""Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users.""Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself.""It is a stable solution.""It's great for monitoring services and applications.""The primary selling point of this product is its unparalleled transparency into the infrastructure.""With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use.""Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."

Cons
"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.""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.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features.""Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] Cons →

"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality""The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved.""The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work.""We'd always like to see additional functionalities.""I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process.""Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts.""They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options.""New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."

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 →

  • "Pricing is quite competitive. Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and New Relic were all several times more expensive than Instana, both the on-prem and the SaaS versions. Price-wise they are a lot more competitive than anyone else out there."
  • "Its pricing isn't a big pain point. Its pricing seems to be better than some of the other competing products in the market, but they also have some of the features and functionalities that are better than Instana."
  • "The pricing is $1,200 per year which is a bit high compared to other vendors."
  • "The solution is less expensive than one of its competitors."
  • "It's reasonably priced and manageable, especially for individuals who grasp the significance of application monitoring."
