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 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."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"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."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."
"It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"The most valuable feature is the custom dashboard feature."
"Splunk helps us be more proactive. We can take predictive action to identify and block threats so that nothing harmful gets into the system."
"The day-to-day activities should be less complicated so that anyone can manage it."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"The scalability could be improved."
"It could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The user access management could be a bit better."
"We had an instance when Splunk failed and it took us a couple of days to recover."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
"Its interface could be improved."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
