AMMAR HUMAIDY HUSIN - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.
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.

"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"It supports proactive management, enhances security, and improves operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The most beneficial aspect of Splunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"Once configured correctly, the analysis reporting the Splunk APM provides is better than that of the other APM tools."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"I have primarily used it to go back into the past and understand why something happened. It provides enough information to do research and figure things out."
 

Cons

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."

"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience."
"In Splunk Observability Cloud, I notice room for improvement in synthetic monitoring. It does not provide output based on server names."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"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."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
