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."Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"Now, we know we have a problem, because there is a primary layer of alerting or metrics monitoring put in place, that is the good part."
"It helps us prioritize application performance issues. It has assisted triage where we can drill down and see where exactly the problem lies."
"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."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"The deployment was easy."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"The indexing and data collection are valuable."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
"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."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"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."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"Splunk could enhance its services by providing more comprehensive professional assistance aimed at optimizing our investment."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
