We performed a comparison between Splunk APM and VMware Aria Operations for Applications 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."I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"No issues with stability."
"People are very pleased with the implementation."
"The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."
"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation."
"The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."
"Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more."
"It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality."
"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."
"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
"The initial setup should be easier and more seamless."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
