Chose Nexthink
Nexthink is the market leader in terms of measuring real user experience w.r.t End-user device. Systrack sensors work great but the GUI is not very attractive. Aternity is another great solution when integrated with other riverbed solutions like Appresponse, NetIM, and …

The assistance and information caught are astounding, however, the client care given by the Blue Triangle group is top-notch. They cause us to feel like the main client each time we talk, and they truly believe that we should succeed. The support team is continually checking your record and they continuously bring new ideas for potential improvement to our meetings.

I've been managing desktops for 20+ years and Nexthink was the missing tool out of my toolbox. Just to give some perspective, if you were building and maintaining a house, Nexthink would be comparable to switching up from a hammer and nails and to full blown using a nailgun. Nexthink is a solution accelerator and a well thought out toolset to give you the customer experience at a glance. It allows for so much more visibility just with the default set of data points the Collector (agent) gathers, which is A LOT, and grants you the ability to gather even more data with remote actions. All of this evidence cuts how the "it could possibly be this" and "maybe it's that" discussions when you're troubleshooting an issue. It may not provide the exact answer all the time, but it gives you a "compass point" on where you need to start looking to resolve the issue. Also the service monitoring, activity monitoring, and critical event thresholds really empower the teams to know when a problem is happening and they can get ahead of it before the first call even reaches the Help Desk. Nexthink is a cornerstone tool in our environment for end user experience and I'm excited to see where the go next.

Cons
  • Getting your head around all of their many modules might be a bit of a challenge
  • It can occasionally display an excessive number of reports, leading to a state of confusion
  • The reports might be sluggish to load at times

  • Sometimes it's a bit of a task when we spot an issue and need to provide machine logs for Nexthink to investigate. I believe this isn't the case when you go and use Nexthink cloud.
  • I think the documentation can be improved. It can be very hard to follow and lacks detail.

We have explored using other end-user experience management tools but Nexthink stood out to us as the best option. It is very easy to get started with Nexthink using their "Nexthink Learn" platform. From there the integration of the different product offerings was seamless. Nexthink provides a wide variety of library packs that come ready to use out the box, simply import them and start using them. The customisable dashboards have given our product and service owners more visibility than they've ever had before. The Nexthink community is one of the best I have been a part of, everyone is actively sharing ideas and promoting innovation. Nexthink regularly hosts user groups that bring their clients together to discuss use cases and the value they have generated using the tool. They are also very transparent with their roadmap and what they are working on, ensuring the focus is aligned to the needs of the customer.
