We performed a comparison between Quest Foglight for APM [EOL] and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
"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."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"The only thing which can be improved is that they are too subjective on whom their Splunk4Good initiative can be applied. They market it as you only need to be a nonprofit, but there is more to it."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
