We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers.""Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it.""We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself.""With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app.""AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications.""It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens.""It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."

"The reporting feature is good for us.""The technical support is good at resolving issues.""Real User Monitor has improved our productivity.""The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring.""The most useful feature of this solution is tracking. When the application's traffic has been monitored it is taken from that particular application and analyzed. It is then given a live session of that particular user. For example, if you are using your bank application to do some kind of transaction, everything that you do can be tracked by that application.""Very easy to implement.""The Real User Monitor, with its transaction and synthetic transaction monitoring, is the typical classic in APM cases when the customer would like to do transaction monitoring. Micro Focus scores better where the underlying infrastructure management is also covered by Micro Focus tools."

Cons
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime.""The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.""I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views.""I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."

"We would like to see support for non-Windows environments.""This technology is considered to be older.""Some issues with login errors.""When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported.""Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic. There is currently no visibility in that channel.""Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely.""One area to improve is the user interface, of course. The second one is their R&D has virtually stopped building a product roadmap."
