Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"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 most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"I am impressed with the tool's AppStack feature which mainly helps us in the identification process. This feature can give an overview of the fault and help us identify the issues for performance degradation. Instead of looking at multiple places, we can look at a single place to identify the issues."
"Monitoring of processes and services is the most valuable feature. It is not necessarily just the server alone in terms of the CPU or the memory. We can go in-depth into services and processes."
"Solarwinds has an open database that allows you to do serious integrations. It doesn't matter which service desk you have, you can implement and integrate it with SolarWinds."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"There are many valuable features, including the network configuration manager, and the network performance manager."
"I'd rate technical support at eight out of ten. They are helpful and fast."
"It is simple to implement and can provide fairly decent Windows-based monitoring, beyond simple SNMP. It is great for monitoring newbies and smaller shops."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"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."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"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."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"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."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"It needs time-based functions for monitoring. Some things need to be polled on a specific schedule or only during a specific window."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve by having a cloud version. They have an observability platform but it still needs to be maintained by us."
"The setup was complex. We had local support to assist us."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"Currently SolarWinds SAM offers AppInsight for modern versions of: IIS, Exchange, SQL Server. They have shown to be powerful and insightful tools. However, AppInsight needs to be offered for more applications: Citrix, SharePoint, AX, etc."
