Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."

"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply."
"The product is relatively expensive."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"The pricing can be better."
"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex."
