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."Has helped us to increase customer acquisitions and reduce revenue leakage."
"We're a large organization, so we appreciate AppDynamics' wide coverage. It may not work in all areas, but it has broad coverage. We can use the same dataset for different use case aspects. That is the beauty of AppDynamics. You can coordinate APM, EUM, and infrastructure through one dataset."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"End-user monitoring (web and mobile)"
"AppDynamics is easy to implement if you follow the documentation, and the documentation that they provide is good."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"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."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"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."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
