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 feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"We used AppDynamics to identify gaps and bottlenecks in the software."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows."
"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"The setup time is quite long."
