We performed a comparison between OpenText Diagnostics 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."For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"The alerts are very effective."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."
"Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
