YE
A powerful service that is very stable and scalable
It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

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

"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
"The solution overall is very valuable for me."
"The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive."
"Splunk's GUI and dashboard capacity are the most valuable features of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provided our customers with visibility into their overall infrastructure."
"Splunk APM helps us to find errors immediately and resolve them."
 

Cons

"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"Technical support is good but could be improved, particularly concerning the time taken for ticket resolution."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The dashboards are used mainly to visualize information about the infrastructure, but it isn't easy to construct or use the dashboards. While we tried to resolve the issue by calling support, it would be easier if they had an AI co-pilot to identify the problem and help you solve it."
"I would rate Splunk technical support at six out of ten. When we have a problem and need to create a case, the response isn't quick."
"A wide variety of logging makes log onboarding difficult."
"The price has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."
"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."
"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
"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 offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"Splunk APM is expensive."
