Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We really like the scalability capabilities.""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.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""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.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet.""Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."

"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable.""Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost.""Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics""The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end.""The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results.""Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents.""It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers.""FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."

Cons
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""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.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""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."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database.""I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace.""I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections.""My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory.""I want to see mobile access application in the next release.""It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment.""There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work.""We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
