We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"Service maturity when you can retrieve the normal metrics for every major aspect of each module and delivering this info to the correct eyes."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"The most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process."
"We are able to spot issues much quicker with the use of the out-of-the-box metrics given to us by CA. But we also develop that further with the use of the EPA Agent and expand what we can give and show the business by creating our own scripts. This has allowed us to develop our own self-monitoring and before anybody else sees the issue we are on hand to solve that as quickly as possible."
"It's a very stable product."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"Splunk is a user-friendly solution."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"It gives us good visibility into multiple environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid; irrespective of platform."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"The reports are a key part of APM in my vision because it is through them that we manage to generate the evidence to direct the development team and operational support to address. However, we can not extract the information of the tool through reports. We have needed several times to use screen print screen, CTRL + C and CTRL + V."
"The APM SQL feature doesn't perform like we would like it to. I know that's a new feature with 10.5, so it may be one of those things that gets a little better, but it should run faster."
"Support could be much better."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc."
"Splunk should have more regional data centers in the Middle East."
"The documentation is in definite need of improvement."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."
