We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring 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."One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
"It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."
"What could be improved in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for the synthetic jobs or synthetic agents, in particular, you can't do a lot of tests with just one agent. You have to install a lot of agents if you want to do more tests, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. Another area for improvement in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that you're only able to see basic metrics in the absence of server or database visibility. For the SaaS version of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring, my team just downloaded then installed the extension in an application in Azure to see the application on the controller, so if this can be done in the on-premise version of the solution as well, without needing to install the agent on the machine, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring better. Currently, the .NET agent consumes the CPU or memory and clients usually raise this issue with my team, so it would be good if the on-premises version doesn't require agent installation on the machine. Another functionality I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is for it to receive updates from the file config without needing to reset IIS because right now when you do a modification in IIS, you have to restart IIS. When you add a service to the agent config, you have to restart IIS. For the product server, it's not possible to reset IIS after you make changes to the config file, so if this could be improved, then it would make AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring a better solution."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring needs to offer an end-to-end experience, including the internet layer and third-party elements that come into play on websites."
"They do not have robust documentation."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"We had an instance when Splunk failed and it took us a couple of days to recover."
"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"It takes time to train people."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"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."
