OpenText Business Process Monitor vs. Workspace ONE Intelligence for Consumer Apps

It is really good to have Business Process Monitor for being proactive with monitoring critical business services. And it is even more recommended along with APM. However, you will still need some training in order to configure them as they are sophisticated tools.

Crittercism is best as a bread crumb trail, stack track logging service to debug applications when you have an issue detecting a problem in your application. Its strength is not as a real-time logging platform to allow you to view production logs in real-time. However, it would be an extremely beneficial feature for Crittercism to add.

• Being proactive in monitoring critical business services.
• Uses pre-saved scripts using Vugen.
• Almost all protocols are supported by it.

• Identifying crashes users are experiencing.
• Allowing us to see how many times the crash occurred.
• Allowing us to see what times the crashes have occurred.

• It depends heavily on Vugen so it would be great to give more courses on writing scripts in the Business Process Monitor trainings.
• When issues arise, we don't have insights into if the issue is from the script itself or if it is a real issue. Here you lose trust in determining which is right until you interfere personally. As an example, one day I got an alert from a business server and the issue was that the script didn't finish successfully and thus it kept the session opened. So the next schedule of the script will fail, not because there is a real issue on the business service, but because you need to go yourself open the application, close all pages, then log out so that the script will continue to monitor.

• Pointing to exact line number of the crash
• A more explicit navigation bar (a little confusing for the user)
• Third-party API specific crash reporting (instead of just listing the endpoint)

We didn't try anything else as we are satisfied with Business Process Monitor.

A similar product we use is Conviva. I personally prefer Crittercism as Conviva seems to miss things fairly often. Critter tends to catch most issues as long as development has set the app up for it. I've had to reproduce issues several times before Conviva catches it whereas Crittercism will catch it on the first try

• Proactive.
• Monitors critical services by simulating every step you could use and get alerts for performance issues and availability issues.
• Has almost all the needed protocols to write a script.

Incentivized

• Allow us to release iOS versions quicker to the app store
• Help us solve bugs and view bread crumb trails on money-making actions within the API
• Points us to problems in the stack trace with a direct correlation to our route creation aspect in the app
