Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"It's pretty stable."
"The analytics are great."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"Splunk has helped improve our company's resilience level."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
"The setup time is quite long."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"The security can be improved."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
