Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers

As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.

Has enabled us to detect issues instantly through alerts and monitor every service from a single dashboard

Splunk requires significantly more improvements compared to Splunk AppDynamics, specifically regarding the licensing aspect. Splunk renews licenses every six months, which is inconvenient. It would be better to have a one-year license to avoid needing to update keys constantly, which can only occur on weekends, making it a burdensome task. Although Splunk is better for certain use cases, Splunk AppDynamics is broader in functionality. Specifically, I want enhancements related to creating dashboards not only for logs or minor services but also for configuration levels, allowing us to check configurations immediately without manually opening the entire code when exceptions arise—a feature I wish to see improved in Splunk, although it may not be necessary for Splunk AppDynamics.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."

"The most valuable feature is mapping."

"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."

"What I like the most about Splunk AppDynamics is the end-to-end observability for the application, along with traces."

"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."

"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the response time from the end-to-end server."

"It's made it easier to collaborate across teams; be able to have the same data immediately in front of you just by sharing a URL."

"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."

"The time saved is significant as we have gone from four hours to one hour, which means we are saving a lot of time."

"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."

More Splunk AppDynamics pros

Cons

"Reporting is sometimes a little slow."

"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."

"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."

"The way the agentless monitoring and agent monitoring get used is to be decided by the user, but there is no clarification on the setup phase or on how and why to use the aforementioned options."

"The scalability could be improved."

"I am not very impressed with support. The service could be better."

"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."

"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."

"I have to use Splunk AppDynamics because the organization already implemented it. But my experience as an SME, subject matter expert on the APM tool, I would probably lean towards Datadog a little bit more than Splunk AppDynamics."

More Splunk AppDynamics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."

"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."

"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later."

"We have purchased a few licenses for AppDynamics Database Monitoring and the price is high."

"The pricing is very competitive."

"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."

"Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."

"The pricing is quite comparable to similar solutions in the market. All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage."

"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
