Find out in this report how the two DEM - Digital Experience Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Being able to proactively identify issues on user systems."
"The most valuable feature for us is trend analysis, particularly with device-help type of events and computer help events, such as blue screens, application errors, and application crashes."
"While it also provides desktop metrics, the main thing we use it for is monitoring our applications."
"Other features we use heavily are the WiFi analyzer, the Skype for Business analyzer, and the troubleshooting functionalities. We also use the Device Health quite religiously here for troubleshooting devices that are unhealthy, when we're talking about things like high CPU or memory consumption, or file system problems within the users' workstations."
"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."
"The two most valuable features for us are its abilities to validate the customer experience and to measure performance before and after upgrades."
"We could resolve issues that they had been facing for months or years. They had been having the same issues, the same performance problems, whether it was Excel taking a long time to load, or network instability, or voice call problems, and we would fix it in minutes, in front of them in a meeting, with absolute confidence. It would just blow their minds."
"The data the solution provides is valuable to us; we can see the health of the machines, how they are performing, and what might be causing issues on a particular machine."
"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 solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"Splunk has helped improve our company's resilience level."
"The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. "
"When it comes to what is called creating signatures, it's not easy for a non-coding person for desktop applications. You need to run the recording and you need to have some exposure and knowledge. That is an area where they can improve. For web applications, they have the Web Activity Creator and that's an awesome and easy tool. Anybody can use it and capture the signatures. With the desktop applications it's a little more cumbersome and difficult."
"We are waiting for the GA release of their agent. I hope they can do better when they release their endpoint agents. Right now, we are not able to measure some applications, core applications, because it's relying on a specific version of the agent and that agent has not come out yet and there's no ETA. I would like to see them speed up time to market when they release agents."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"For me, the biggest problem is the price. It is not so much about how much it costs. It is about Aternity only giving you 12 months upfront. So, you got to purchase it for 12 months. A lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. They are all OPEX rather than CAPEX. It would be a lot better for our customers if there was an option available for OPEX so that it is billed on a monthly basis than a yearly basis. They've got only Windows agents. They don't actually have mobile agents. It would be a lot better if they could also integrate Android and iOS because then we can start pulling steps and performance management out of users' mobile devices. That's the biggest addition I would suggest at the moment. A lot of our customers have desktops as well as tablets or mobile devices. We should be able to monitor that stuff as well."
"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."
"The solution is available at a higher price than other solutions."
"I would like Alluvio Aternity to be certified by the IRAP for petrol companies in Australia."
"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
"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."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
