We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring."
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"Java Console uses too much memory."
"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"Splunk needs local technical support."
"The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
"Search head clustering is often temperamental in its current state and should be improved, replaced by something better, or be reverted to search head pooling."
"Some of the terminology can be confusing, even for seasoned vets. Renaming components at this point would be a serious undertaking. However, it might be beneficial in the long run."
