"This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises."
"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."
"The solution's technical support is very good."
"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues."
"The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."
"Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable."
"We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports."
"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem."
"I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards."
"Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."
"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
