DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Splunk AppDynamics compete in the monitoring and management software category. Based on user feedback, AppDynamics is preferred for its advanced application-level monitoring capabilities.
Features: DX UIM provides users with customizable probes and features such as automated deployment and scalability. It supports automatic deployment, scalability, and offers a wide range of probes for different technologies. AppDynamics is valued for its deep application monitoring, comprehensive transaction monitoring, and effective tools for identifying application performance issues.
Room for Improvement: DX UIM users seek enhancements in core probes for bulk uploads, better reporting, and a more user-friendly console. AppDynamics could improve integration with newer technologies, enhance network monitoring capabilities, and simplify its licensing model to be more cost-effective, along with better support for cloud services.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: DX UIM is praised for its scalability and ability to be deployed across hybrid and on-premises environments, though its technical support quality is inconsistent. AppDynamics also supports diverse environments and is noted for its structured technical support despite licensing and cost challenges.
Pricing and ROI: DX UIM is considered expensive, yet some users find it worth the price due to its extensive feature set. There are suggestions to choose probes carefully to manage costs. AppDynamics is frequently highlighted for its high cost and complex licensing model. However, users acknowledge its value return through deep insight into application performance, although the high cost remains a concern.
According to errors, exceptions, and code-level details related to their application performance on a daily basis, the application development team tries to help with Splunk AppDynamics to reduce errors and exceptions, which helps the end users get application availability and feel more confident.
To understand the magnitude of it, when the company asked to replace Splunk AppDynamics with another tool, I indicated that for the proposed tool, we would need five people to do the analysis that Splunk AppDynamics enables me to do.
It's very hard to find ROI because we are currently focused only on the on-premises applications.
Improving direct support for end customers, similar to Microsoft’s model, would be beneficial.
AppDynamics is much more helpful.
We got a contact, an account manager, to work directly with for technical support.
They help us resolve any issues raised by our team relating to operations, application instrumentation, or any other issues.
The solution helps with capacity management, enabling us to determine when we need to scale up the network.
We have reached maximum capacity in our tier, and extending capacity has not been cost-effective from Splunk's perspective.
I would rate the scalability of Splunk AppDynamics as a nine out of ten.
I did not find any Docker solution available with it, and a separate instance has to be installed.
It is necessary to conduct appropriate testing before deploying them in production to prevent potential outages.
There are no issues or bugs with the 20.4 version; it is very stable with no functionality or operational issues.
I can rate it nine out of ten.
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial.
Splunk AppDynamics does not support the complete MELT framework, which includes metrics, events, logging, and tracing for the entire stack.
If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems.
A good integration with Splunk would be very interesting, as Splunk is a good product for logs, and that part is currently missing in Splunk AppDynamics.
The pricing of DX Unified Infrastructure Management is high and often a concern for customers.
Customers have to pay a premium price, however, they receive considerable value from the product.
All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage.
We find its pricing reasonable and competitive.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels.
We have multiple tools, but end users prefer to use Splunk AppDynamics because their portal navigation is very simple and clear.
The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows.
What I like the most about Splunk AppDynamics is the end-to-end observability for the application, along with traces.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management is the only solution that provides an open architecture, full-stack observability and zero-touch configuration for monitoring traditional data center, public cloud, and hybrid infrastructure environments.
Designed to ensure an optimal end-user experience, this solution provides a modern HTML5 operations console that makes it easy and fast for today’s IT teams to implement, use, and scale – leading to faster time to value.
Splunk AppDynamics enhances application performance monitoring with advanced diagnostics and real-time insights, offering seamless end-to-end transaction tracking and infrastructure visibility.
AppDynamics provides critical tools for businesses to analyze application behavior and performance. Through innovative features like transaction snapshot analysis and adaptable dashboards, users can quickly identify and address issues, ensuring high levels of system uptime and efficiency. It is designed to support complex environments including Kubernetes and AWS, enhancing user experience by detecting performance issues early. Despite needing improvements in network monitoring and integration, it remains a robust option for tracking application health.
What are the key features of AppDynamics?In industries like financial services and e-commerce, AppDynamics facilitates performance tracking across distributed systems, optimizing infrastructure to meet consumer demands. It excels in environments needing precise transaction monitoring and is pivotal in delivering high value and satisfaction.
