Featured Reviews

Akhilesh Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at M.TECH Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.
Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance
In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.
Manjit Chakravarty - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Good performance monitoring, stable, and scalable
The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps. I have worked as an operations engineer, implementation engineer, and architect in India. However, the solution is not readily available to every customer. For example, if a company purchases a license and implements the solution, the BAU operation team may be unfamiliar with the product. The solution provides some free training and videos on its website, but it could improve its training and support for customers who purchase a license. Additionally, I have found it difficult to get support for production-related issues. The solution could improve its response time for these issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is the only tool we use to show us what the user is doing."
"The two most valuable features for us are its abilities to validate the customer experience and to measure performance before and after upgrades."
"We have absolutely seen ROI; we were completely disconnected from what was really going on in our fleet, and this has really given us that visibility to understand problems and impact, scope them in our environment, and understand how the configuration changes we are making are affecting performance."
"The most valuable feature for us is trend analysis, particularly with device-help type of events and computer help events, such as blue screens, application errors, and application crashes."
"When employees complain of trouble with applications or devices, Aternity enables us to see exactly what they see as they engage with apps, allowing us to focus our troubleshooting and quickly perform fault domain isolation across branches, users, and applications."
"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to monitor the productivity of every employee in the company as well as third-party, outsourced companies that work on our behalf."
"We could resolve issues that they had been facing for months or years. They had been having the same issues, the same performance problems, whether it was Excel taking a long time to load, or network instability, or voice call problems, and we would fix it in minutes, in front of them in a meeting, with absolute confidence. It would just blow their minds."
"There are a lot of customization options, such as creating your own tables and more. You have the option to make whatever you like and see whatever you want."
"I like Stratusphere's login metrics. It lets you drill down to exactly what you want to see."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
"Stratusphere is a highly scalable solution appropriate for small businesses and large organizations."
 

Cons

"We are not satisfied with their technical support. If there is a problem, you have to wait for several days to get a response."
"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement."
"It all comes in pretty nice looking charts and things, but we have a hard time pulling out hard data, which is usually what you'll need if you're trying to be actionable."
"The solution's downloadable reports could be improved."
"They need to revamp their whole sales, management, and technical support. Their technology is fine. It's the associates around it that make it not worth my while."
"The licensing model doesn't suit the market we are in and has room for improvement."
"Reports were a lot easier in the older versions"
"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures."
"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors. They need to look at the competition and adopt some of those features. Liquidware could make the dashboarding more user-friendly and integrate scripting into the product."
"The time taken by the solution for the data to load should be improved. It was pretty high in some instances. The latency for some stuff to load up was pretty high."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."
"It’s a little on the costly side, but if you license intelligently, accounting for your various hosts connecting in through VDI or terminal servers, you can make it well worth your money."
"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost. However, it is not cheap, especially when you want to install it on all your endpoints."
"You have to purchase it for 12 months, which is an issue because a lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. There are a few additional costs. A lot of customers only get the essential licenses, and then they get what they call the application add-ons on top. They have to pay depending on how many customers and applications they want to monitor."
"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."
"It's not a cheap product. There are no two ways about that. If you compare it with a couple of the other solutions operating in the space, it might be on the slightly more expensive side, but it is one of those tools where, once you've got it, you understand the true value. You will get that money back."
"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."
"We always try to reduce costs and purchase the Alluvio Aternity Essentials license."
"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
"The license is based on the number of users. I don't know the current prices, but it's around four euros per user monthly. My customers consider it expensive."
