Cons
"Technical support needs to be more responsive.""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.""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.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""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."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The solution should be more user-friendly."

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 price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
  • "The solution is no more expensive than other products."
  • "It is costly for small and medium businesses."
  • More Alluvio AppResponse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Mostly, it's a perpetual license. We don't have any customers using the subscription right now—it's mostly a perpetual license that the customers purchase. The licensing is based on the number of elements, whereas other solutions are node-based."
  • "I believe the current licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "Since it's a negotiable rate, I would rate the pricing as a five out of five."
