Pros
"We really like the scalability capabilities.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""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.""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.""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 platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis.""The overall capabilities are the most valuable.""Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful.""Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users.""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.""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."

Cons
"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.""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.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options.""Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts.""Many managers, as well as our customers, used to ask for reports, such as "top X number of queries that are slow," or "top pages that have the highest number of issues." This is something that can be improved by Instana. Currently, they don't have that kind of reporting available out-of-the-box.""While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality""New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data.""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.""The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved.""We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
