Predictive analysis has improved IT performance evaluation and problem management

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

"The most useful function in Alluvio Aternity is that it allows the customer to easily track and get visibility of whether the application an end-user is accessing is performing well or not."
"The dashboards of this platform are the most valuable, especially the Desktop Health dashboard."
"The item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports. It's a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."
"Alluvio Aternity is stable."
"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."
"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."
"Desktop monitoring, and being able to understand the performance of applications that runs on the desktop."
"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."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."
"Its user interface and features should be improved. They don't support new versions of certain Linux editions. That is one of the reasons why we have to move to another solution."
"The thing that I think most companies like ourselves would want would be an easier way to customize custom scripts."
"Riverbed is costly in the Indian market; I would rate the pricing for Alluvio Aternity as a higher price."
"The dashboards and navigatability of the platform could use improvement. It often takes five or six clicks to drill down to exactly what you want to see."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"When it comes to a lot of the features that I would want, they will tell you they are in their SaaS version, which we don't use... They put all the new features on the SaaS solution and that's where you get the latest and greatest stuff... Why not have those features available for on-prem users?"
"The other place for improvement, as an on-prem, non-SaaS customer, is that the system administration and management in Aternity are very difficult. They've even told me that most of their support calls come in due to configuration and system administration on their on-prem. Their on-prem solution is not easy to use."
"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. 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 main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing cost is very low. That's one of the reasons why we have kept it for so long. We get more than a 70% discount on the maintenance licenses. Its cost is very low for us, but if you buy it new, it would be much more expensive at the retail price."
"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."
"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."
"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."
"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."
"The pricing for the users and agents is reasonable compared to other solutions and vendors."
"The pricing is reasonable for the value that it gives because it does allow you to measure the cost ramifications of direct productivity loss for spends in both your infrastructure and on endpoints."
"Pricing is a bit high. Don't take that as the "be all, end all"."
"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."
"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
