"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"The analytics are great."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make."
"The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports."
"The product has a good security posture."
"Splunk Enterprise Security comes with 300 pre-deployed use cases that can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of our organization, without the need to purchase additional tools."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."
"Aggregation searches have reduced time and difficulty of identifying trends and conditions which need to reviewed."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"It would help to have historical information."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"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."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
"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."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
