Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Lakshmi Padaga - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"The product is simple to use."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The best features in Splunk Observability Cloud are the metrics; I can see any logs or anything related to the server or services we want to monitor, and the metrics are a good function."
"Dashboards help the application support teams to have a quick look at how their systems are running. It helps other teams as well."
"The company has many systems that the customer is paying to access. Splunk APM issued via AppDynamics helps find problems in the feed. It reduces the risk of supervising all the devices. I can supervise the flow and simulate the conditions of the repository across several dashboards to show what's happening at the moment."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
 

Cons

"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The integration must be improved."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"There is not a lot of support for the tool's on-premises version, especially since everything is on the cloud."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"A wide variety of logging makes log onboarding difficult."
"Once you see the issues related to the scalability part, you need to understand that it is a warning triangle. After seeing the warning triangle, you need to realize that you cannot trust any of the numbers you see in the chart because it is not a complete, full data set."
"Technical support is good but could be improved, particularly concerning the time taken for ticket resolution."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"Licensing cost is the biggest argument I get from those divesting from Splunk. There are those within our organization who say we are going to go to other tools since Splunk is too expensive."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
"The solution's pricing is costly."
"I would rate the price of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
