"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."

"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"The product is good, it satisfies our customers."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."

"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"Stability-wise, we experienced some performance issues when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"Some of the queries are difficult to run and have room for improvement."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"Their technical support sucks."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
