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."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"The analytics are great."
"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."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."
"Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"The client site login is pretty extensible and probably cost-effective."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"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."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
