Micro Focus AppPulse Suite (discontinued)AlertSite
Likelihood to Recommend
From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues.

We moved all of our services to Site24x7 after several years with AlertSite. We looked at Uptrends and Pingdom to name a few whilst evaluating options. Pingdom lacks functionality and Uptrends we found to have quite a steep learning curve. AlertSites platform and in particular the Deja-Click recorder is a standout tool against the other platforms. Sadly the upscaling costs of multi-location transactions can quickly add up.

  • Easy to setup and have some difficulties to handle.

  • AlertSite helps us capture website failures, this helps us to provide 100% uptime as promised with clients.
  • We observed issues from AlertSite many times but their support is fast and helpful.
  • It needs improvement to avoid false alerting as it wastes the time of the support person and can cause a business impact.
