We performed a comparison between Instana Dynamic APM and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"It is a stable solution."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."
"This solution helps us increase our productivity."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes."
"I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"Could be more user friendly."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
