Sentiment score

AppDynamics offers scalable solutions for diverse environments, though some users encounter cost and configuration challenges in large deployments.
We have reached maximum capacity in our tier, and extending capacity has not been cost-effective from Splunk's perspective.
I did not find any Docker solution available with it, and a separate instance has to be installed.

Sentiment score
7.7
Splunk AppDynamics is stable and reliable, with minor glitches; frequent updates improve its performance and address issues.
It is necessary to conduct appropriate testing before deploying them in production to prevent potential outages.
I can rate it nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Evanios needs better alert management, integration, and cost efficiency, leading users to consider alternatives like PagerDuty for added features.
Splunk AppDynamics needs a more intuitive interface, easier integration, improved monitoring, and clearer documentation, with simplified licensing and alerts.
Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial.
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.
If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems.
 

Setup Cost

Splunk AppDynamics pricing is complex and costly, offering value for larger enterprises but challenging for smaller organizations.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Evanios offers powerful, flexible event processing with seamless ServiceNow integration, user-friendly rule types, and adaptable JavaScript manipulation.
Splunk AppDynamics offers comprehensive visibility with real-time alerts, intuitive dashboards, and easy integration, enhancing operational efficiency and performance monitoring.
What I like the most about Splunk AppDynamics is the end-to-end observability for the application, along with traces.
The baseline of all metrics in the Splunk AppDynamics database is very interesting. It can send alarms or alerts when the database baseline is not correct.
The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows.

Featured Reviews

it_user592602 - PeerSpot reviewer
The vendor is willing to work with us and develop solutions for products they did not already have an integration for.
As with any new software implementation, during the integration we found a couple of minor issues when integrating certain products (such as SCOM). However, each time this happened Evanios was very quick to identify the bug we were seeing, patch it and provide the new update set for us to install. Also, during the evaluation of Evanios we found that they already had integrations with most of our larger monitoring tools, however they also stated that they would be able to create update sets to integrate certain products we used that they did not currently support. This proved to be very valuable for us because they were able to become an even better fit for our organization by creating update sets\integrations for PRTG, Quest Foglight, TIBCO and Thousand Eyes as well.
Muhammad Zeeshan Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic mapping enhances workflows that are user-friendly
One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments. If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems. Moving to an agentless solution, like what some competitors are doing, would be beneficial.
