Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name.""Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc.""As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues.""The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code).""Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability.""Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive""We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument.""The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."

"You can check up on security from the dashboards.""Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful.""One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us.""It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make.""Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature.""From my experience, the visual aid that it provides is most valuable. There are charts and other means to provide information.""It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity.""The solution is stable and reliable."

Cons
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post.""They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker.""I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now.""Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update.""The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.""We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods.""The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well.""It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."

"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product.""The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations.""The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system.""I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""It takes time to train people.""The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
  • "The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
