We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database 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."The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"The solution is great for database monitoring. You don't have to install an agent on the database. You just install the server to a database agent. It's a good product for some database administration if you don't want to install an agent on the database for security."
"The good thing with AppDynamics Databases is that it will give you a pretty good overview of the data, all the database-like tables, long-running queries, jobs running on the databases, and the queries that are taking more time. So, it's at a deeper level with all the database functionalities, and you will get that information. So, it's a pretty good tool in that sense."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring are you can configure the performance and see in real-time what is exactly happening with the applications. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"It is a one stop shop as a full monitoring and alerting solution for operations and application analysis for most of our back-end systems."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."
"We solve issues that we previously could not since we now have the data."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"The scalability could be improved."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
