AppNeta vs. HeadSpin

AppNeta is awesome for getting site-to-site statistics or trying to find out why at 3 am every night, this server loses connectivity to another server in a different data center. But we have found the multiple bugs in the hardware hard to deal with when the devices are a 4-hour plane ride away and require someone to console into the device.

We have been using HeadSpin for our web and mobile application testing. It is an easy-to-use solution that provides detailed and in-depth analytics from the testing results. We also get a wide range of live networks and devices to perform the testing from HeadSpin. It has an inbuilt artificial intelligence engine that helps us to get real-time scenarios simulated, which is very helpful for finding performance issues and improving the overall quality of the applications.

• AppNeta provides great longitudinal data regarding how the applications perform including an overall grade or "AppDex."
• AppNeta sends notifications of service downtime that aids in technical dispatch.

Timely support is one of AppNeta's strong suits. But the ability to develop permeant fixes for issues within there product is where they lack.

We currently use Nagios/GroundWork and Cacti to perform network monitoring. AppNeta's UI is far superior.

Though LambdaTest was cheaper, it did not offer the deal devices and we wanted to be 100% sure that our app offers a perfect experience to all users. Simulators and emulators are not the technology we wanted to rely on.

• A reduction in network outages and length of network outages.
• More detailed post outage investigation available.
