Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."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."
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."
"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."
"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 like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."
"It's easy to troubleshoot issues because there's a large online community."
"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."
"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."
"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."
"The best part about Wireshark, in my opinion, is its ability to analyze packet capture files."
"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."
"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."
"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to 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."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"Whenever we select one of the packets, in terms of the number of bytes, for example, there are three planes, and in the detailed plane, I have to count the number of bytes manually."
"It is difficult to scale this solution."
"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."
"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."
"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."
"This product needs to improve the UI."
"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."
"The average person would probably find Wireshark hard to use. When I first installed it, I was overwhelmed by all the data it was shooting out. It doesn't make sense until you start doing some research and figure out what everything means. It isn't the most user-friendly tool. It just provides so much information."
