We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Application Analytics, Evanios, and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, New Relic, Devo and others in IT Operations Analytics."Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"It's pretty stable."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"The analytics are great."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"The connections to the database are very good and updating the data files is simple to do. The dashboards are useful and user-friendly."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"Visualizations are the best way to understand deviation techniques from the norm."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"This is an expensive solution."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"The price could be cheaper."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful. The platform part is good, but it requires many features from the security aspect."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
