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."Measurement of response time"
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"We receive good transactions from it with good graphs, as well, documenting the activities of total visitors on the site. We can pull the reports and provide them to the client, as required."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"The alerts are very effective."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The technical support is very poor."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"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."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now."
"The product could be cheaper."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
