Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"I can save the traffic and analysis when I want to. Also, it's especially helpful to follow the stream (TCP, UDP, etc.)."
"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."
"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."
"The options that are required to get the details for the packet drops are good."
"The feature to incorporate Voice over IP (VoIP) incidents into network traffic analysis is valuable. Capturing voice or SIP communication allows for examination of interactions between SIP clients and SIP servers. This helps the team investigate or analyze issues related to call center servers and operators."
"The product is simple to implement."
"The drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"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."
"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."
"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."
"The system could be improved upon by adding a better and more powerful data processing engine."
"It needs the ability to follow multiple interfaces for specific traffic from different network zones/virtual networks. It would help to understand how any packet is going through the network."
"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."
"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."
"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."
"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."
