Pros
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network.""It is very scalable.""It is the foundation for our monitoring solution.""We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution.""Probe packages and probe deployment.""It is easy to implement but requires good planning.""Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that.""It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."

"Splunk's dashboards are great.""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.""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.""Detectors are a powerful feature.""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 features are pretty much ready out of the box."

Cons
"We've had issues with pulling reports.""It is a little complex to use versus other softwares.""How we can get more native information from CA's solutions.""The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​""We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue.""I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want.""The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved.""The cardinality is pretty low.""The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future.""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.""We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM.""They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved.""It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
