We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring 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 most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to discover and track transactions."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a standard solution providing good customer service and partnership."
"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"It is very scalable."
"I have also been able to take advantage of some of the more complex statistical capabilities when analyzing logs."
"It is very simple to tweak or write a small piece of glue code to go ahead and create a new dashboard for a business unit to make near real-time decisions to focus more on other geographies when launching the product."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The product's drawback is the licensing pricing. It could be better."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The solution could improve the server size for AppDynamics to include middleware products, which is doesn't yet cover. If they add middleware for sophisticated sites, AppDynamics would be the global choice."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"Some of the terminology can be confusing, even for seasoned vets. Renaming components at this point would be a serious undertaking. However, it might be beneficial in the long run."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"The price has room for improvement."
"Considering the contract thing and the whole legal area, it takes forever to get the contracts signed and to be able to agree to the terms and conditions for my company as well as for Splunk's team."
