I don't know about future releases, but we're definitely looking at AppPulse Trace. We're probably going to take a hard look at AppPulse Mobile as well.

The only other thing that would come to mind is the ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.

One other thing I should probably throw out there is that AppPulse integrated into OMi for us, so all the alerts that we have configured in AppPulse are now watched 24/7, so that was a great thing for us. However, I know there's some difficulty around CI information moving from AppPulse to OMi.

The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime. Right now you can schedule downtime on a one-off basis. I'd like to be able to schedule application downtime if I know the application I'm monitoring is going to be down, and the one I'm responsible for needs to go down every night for a scheduled recycle. I have to schedule it everyday manually, but I would love to say, "Every night at 2:00 in the morning it's going to be down, so don't monitor it for an hour." This would prevent false positives saying that the application's down. That's one thing I would really like.

Also, I would like more granular reporting capability, and a larger breadth of a time period that I can run a report for. I'd like to get more granular with the data points that I'm capturing as far as what my performance metrics were. Right now it's averaged, so I get an average. I think I get some standard deviation from the average. I would like the actual data points if I need them. I would like to have that data broken out by the machines that I'm monitoring and not rolled up into one data point. This would enable me to see trends with actual data as opposed to just averages.

We monitor applications, for example, from five different machines. I'm running the same transaction on five different machines, but when I run the report it's aggregated, but I want to be able to split that up. That would help me know how one site is performing over another. I can get it at a high level but then I like to be able to use the granular data to maybe back into when exactly things start going awry, which I might not get from just an average and standard deviation. Having these data points maybe helpful to our development team with some analytics, from a transaction standpoint, maybe starting to know when a transaction trended towards bad.

The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment. Certain things can't be sent to the SALs environment, otherwise we in breach of one of the legal regulations in the FDA.

We know that we do receive this kind for information. There is a white paper coming from HPE ensuring that the data will be anonymous. This information is new, so we need to be sure that we are not putting personal details or better privacy at risk, in terms of compliance regulations.

Sometimes the user does not really use some of the functionality, or he extensively uses other functionality, which for us is not so important.

I would like to see more reporting and analytics. I also want to be able to get notifications when something goes wrong or something unusual occurs.

I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization. Security is also important because we also use Fortify, another HP tool, to identify whether there is any security breach.

In the next release, I would like to see heat-map tracking. The company we use for web analytics has that so I would like to see that added.

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.

Right now, as we have grown there are some metrics that I am lacking with AppPulse. I know that there are other HP products that can complete that picture for me, but I have not used them yet.

It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile. I have a wish list for AppPulse, but I can't remember now,. I've spoken to AppPulse about improving the tool, and it needs better reports, better dashboards, and HPE should know that it is a business tool. AppPulse needs to provide business information, not technical information. Nobody cares about crashes and the battery consumption. All the information that we need is what happened to our customers or their customers when navigating the application.

There are some things I look forward to – alerts, service level management calculations, API so I can get the data from somewhere else rather than just the website, customizable time frame so I can adjust the date and time.

This is a new solution by HP. It's less than two years, we're among the first to implement the solution, so I'm sure that there is a lot of room for enhancement and continuous improvement in the future.

They have added a new feature, which was not part of the solution, which is they support what they call hybrid apps; before, it was only supporting native. That is something they work with your R & D, whereby they support this feature in the parent version of AppPulse.

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.

Like all solutions, you have to develop special reports.

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.

• Enhanced Reporting
• Scheduling report (Email/SMS)
• On Premises solution instead SaaS
• User name/location tracking
• Snapshots
• Mobile App for AppPulse
• Response time drill down
