Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"What I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring is that it's easy to manipulate and easy to implement. All solutions have the same features, but what sets AppDynamics Server Monitoring apart is that it's really quick to implement. AppDynamics Server Monitoring has a great interface. As a developer, it doesn't matter whether it's SolarWinds, Dynatrace, or any APM you're using, but it would matter to the customer. A product must be easy to manipulate or use, for example, AppDynamics Server Monitoring, for the customer, but for developers like my team, there's no pressure, even if a solution requires coding."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"If we consider the implementation of alternative solutions, such as Dynatrace, there is a notable difference in the approach to agent-based service monitoring. For instance, Dynatrace employs a single-agent solution, which can pose security concerns. When installing Dynatrace, granting the agent ld pro payload rights is a requirement. In contrast, our solution ensures a more secure approach by not requiring root and administration access. While we currently utilize an agent-based solution, there may be a shift in the next one or two years, possibly with the adoption of Open Telemetry. It's anticipated that many APM vendors, including Dynatrace, may alter their structure or strategy for implementation. However, as of now, the trend is towards an increasing number of implementations daily."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
