We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Application Analytics and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's pretty stable."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"The analytics are great."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"The product has a good security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the custom dashboard feature."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
"The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"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."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"Splunk could enhance its services by providing more comprehensive professional assistance aimed at optimizing our investment."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
