We performed a comparison between Splunk APM 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."The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"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."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"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."
