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."We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"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."
"If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best."
"We can easily configure things as required in relation to our use cases."
"The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product."
"The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"The technical support is very poor."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"They need to add support for new frameworks, or at least provide a broader guide/perspectives to add them to monitoring specific agents to retrieve metrics with thresholds as a reference to guide the customer as to where they must go to achieve this."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"The only thing which can be improved is that they are too subjective on whom their Splunk4Good initiative can be applied. They market it as you only need to be a nonprofit, but there is more to it."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
