Optimizing user experience through comprehensive monitoring and real-time analytics
Citrix uberAgent Monitoring ( /products/citrix-uberagent-monitoring-reviews ) helps us optimize the end-user experience. It identifies slow applications, system bottlenecks, and offers network and latency analytics to detect network congestion and connection issues. It enhances the security of Citrix environments by providing valuable security insights. It integrates well with Splunk and Elastic Stack ( /products/elastic-stack-reviews ) to provide real-time analytics. Additionally, it is useful for tracking Citrix log-ons and determining where delays are happening.

Collaborates performance metrics with log data to pinpoint the exact cause of issues and offers error detection
Splunk APM is a robust tool with many capabilities. There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience. For Splunk APM, there could be simplified navigation, like streamlining the user interface to make navigation more intuitive for our users, especially those new to APM, which can enhance usability. We can provide more customization options for dashboards and visualizations to help users tailor the platform to their specific needs. There could be more integration capabilities with a wider range of third-party tools and platforms would also be beneficial. By focusing on these areas, Splunk APM can enhance its value proposition, improve user satisfaction, and better meet the evolving needs of organizations monitoring their application performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience."
"Splunk APM provides a holistic view of the application. Unlike other APMs, Splunk's service map is quite effective."
"It has been beneficial for our IT infrastructure."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"It's beneficial for monitoring performance and infrastructure, especially when deploying applications with multiple versions with Git."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
 

Cons

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring currently does not have its own database and requires dependency on products like Splunk or Elastic Stack for visualization."
"Support from Splunk is not very helpful because Splunk doesn't have a dedicated APM; they only have one APM engineer in Korea."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk isn't an ideal tool for application performance management due to the extensive setup required."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"There is room for improvement in the alerting system, which is complicated and has less documentation available. We sometimes encountered issues in setting up alerts."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
