Find out what your peers are saying about Nexthink, Lakeside Software, Riverbed and others in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)."Other features we use heavily are the WiFi analyzer, the Skype for Business analyzer, and the troubleshooting functionalities. We also use the Device Health quite religiously here for troubleshooting devices that are unhealthy, when we're talking about things like high CPU or memory consumption, or file system problems within the users' workstations."
"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."
"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."
"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."
"Aternity provides metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps, rather than just a few. It does some out-of-the-box monitoring for the Office suite, but you can create custom monitoring for any of your applications, whether a web client or a desktop application."
"We've looked at the Digital Experience Management Quadrant (DEM-Q) to see how our digital experience compares to others who use the solution. We have used that to see how we are trending and it gives us some insight into areas that we might need to focus more on. That's helpful."
"The data the solution provides is valuable to us; we can see the health of the machines, how they are performing, and what might be causing issues on a particular machine."
"Being able to proactively identify issues on user systems."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The stability has been great."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"They've additionally added some great color coding, but they need to explain better and drive down further on the meanings of this workflow."
"I can see the location and computer model and I can see a bunch of different attributes. But one thing I can't see is the Internet Explorer version."
"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."
"Potentially, the one thing that could probably help with better levels of enterprise adoption is around creating the application monitoring signatures. That process can be a little bit difficult. If one thing could be simplified a little bit, it would be the application monitoring signature creation process."
"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."
"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"
"The only thing I can say which has been frustrating are the Tableau workspace/dashboard options out-of-the-box, at least prior to version 8."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"The management of the servers could be better."
