We use Aternity to monitor system performance for all the virtual servers and applications deployed on PROD instances. We are primarily monitoring CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, running Shell Scripts, and performing a status check for Windows services on multiple servers. Aternity has helped us perform proactive monitoring across the critical business components and fulfill the defined availability thresholds.
  • Provides holistic view of system performance
  • Stability index for each server being monitored
  • The tool demands High CPU resources to perform monitoring which reduces the overall performance and the user experience is sluggish
  • Also a good amount of training is required to set up the different use cases and monitoring parameters which in return demands a dedicated resource to work on the tool
Aternity is one of the best Application Performance Monitoring tools available. It is well suited for businesses of any size, but it does require solid hardware to run and perform monitoring.
  • Device performance management
  • Health monitoring of multiple servers at different user defined intervals
  • Helped us drive automation for the client
  • Generation of detailed reports for monitoring activity performed
  • Overall improvement in compliance and risk management for servers
  • Drive operational efficiency across the project

We are using Aternity as a real-time monitoring tool for various business-critical applications. It provides us detailed information about different matrices like security, application performance, and resource usage. We are able to extract user-specific reports to improve the business user experience for the users.
  • Functionality to create custom monitoring workflow for each business application
  • Detailed analytics for each monitoring
  • Automated scripts for performing different user defined actions
  • Cost gets increased with the increase in complexities of the monitoring tasks
  • Apart from cost, no challenge faced from the tool.
Aternity is well suited for medium to large enterprise-level applications and projects. It helps to perform monitoring at different layers of the applications and guarantees an overall increase in performance. If cost is not a constraint, it can be recommended.
  • Data quality
  • Auto alert trigger for business process threshold violation
  • Monitoring based on app crash hangs, page load and wait time
  • Improve user relations and experience
  • Overall improvement in business process agility

SteelCentral AppInternals is in the company to provide visibility into the performance of multilayer and complexity applications. It aims to show a detailed picture of what each team needs to identify and solve their problems. And all of this in a collaborative and optimized way that makes life easier for everyone.
  • Try to end application downtime.
  • Optimize and improve troubleshooting.
  • Detect and identify existing problems.
  • A little complicated at first to use.
  • We found it a bit slow to give the answers.
Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals at the company collaborates on monitoring Java and .net applications, as well as other third parties. An example scenario is the measurement we do from end to end of some applications to the web page. All this with real-time monitoring and identifying any delays in performance you have. Alerts can come from the browser, database, application, and even from the network.
  • An overall improvement in transaction performance.
  • Improved security because of the excellent monitoring that is performed.
The three tools mentioned above are great too. All deliver and fulfill their functionality well. But we chose Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals because we received referrals from other friends who work at other major companies around the world and use this solution and have never had any problems. So for reliability we chose this one.
The support I give the highest rating because it is really amazing. Every time we triggered the tool support, we were very well served very quickly and efficiently. The problems were solved quickly and without stress. The staff helped us within minutes and had a lot of patience with us.

We use AppInternals to give us full stack visibility across cloud workloads and containers, showing full diagnostics for every transaction across our applications, which includes logs, network and payload data. We have a high number of applications spread across the organization, on-premise, and cloud-based. We had very little visibility into the stack trace of these applications.
  • Full stack visibility into application data is excellent.
  • Transaction element is very detailed and extremely helpful in diagnosing issues.
  • The support element from Riverbed has been great, including the turn around time for the few issues we had.
  • We found the platform slightly costly for the return. Having tried multiple products this was the best of the lot.
  • We did find a few applications where the diagnostic data wasn't overly insightful.
If you have multiple applications deployed natively and cloud-based, then AppInternals will be well suited to you. If your applications use multiple technologies, then again, this will be well suited to you. We have offices and users across the globe, so we needed a platform where we could measure the data from multiple geographic locations.
  • We were able to pinpoint app stack issues within the first days and issues we weren't aware of. Changes were made and the performance has been enhanced greatly since and this is due to AppInternals.
  • The ability to drill into the diagnostic data is second to none. Pinpoints exactly where issues are and this saves troubleshooting time.
  • By implementing AppInternals against the Dev environments, it also allowed future releases to be accelerated and be deployed cleaner and faster.
There is a wide variety of APM solutions out there for companies to pick from. Riverbed AppInternals sits near the top of the stack certainly. We already deploy steelhead units across the estate with client licenses, that aided us in our decision to select AppInternals. We found the costs of AppDynamics and New Relic ( which we had trials for) both costly against AppInternals.

Cuts down on the time to resolve complicated application issue. Now, we have been able to trace individual transaction to identify where the issue is whether in the application code, server, or network.
  • Transaction tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable.
  • Support for PHP, DB, and other applications need to be supported. We have a broad range of applications that we would like visibility into but the list of currently supported applications is very small.
  • 9/10 - We had a couple of issues that required opening up tickets. The Riverbed support engineers usually resolve issues in a timely manner.
  • App Dynamics should try to find some measure of support or functionality in an SAP and People soft environments - however with the introduction of C++ agents - the People Soft realm will be covered shortly.
  • Additional support for next-gen mobile platforms also needs to be high on the roadmap prioritization.
We are a services organization and we use Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals with our customers. It has allowed us to expand the footprint in the application management business with virtually all of our major accounts. We were able to expand and go into other applications that we weren't in or offering previously.

Now, we have a new value proposition for our customer enhanced visibility, enhanced stability, and we can reduce our cost to them because our cost structure is reduced by using Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals.
  • This product has really wonderful features and one of the most valuable ones is the transaction searches into TTW.
  • This will show you the operations that occurred under conditions that the user specifies, giving you the opportunity to drill down on the things that are more important and affecting system performance.
  • Besides that, the capability of analyzing each individual transaction captured to a very low-level detail (method call/line of code). This ability empowers the testing teams to provide more visibility to developers on how they can improve.
