Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, New Relic, Devo and others in IT Operations Analytics."The analytics are great."
"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."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"It's pretty stable."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"We solve issues that we previously could not since we now have the data."
"The search lookups are useful."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"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."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"The setup time is quite long."
"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."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
