We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM. Implementing this functionality would be very beneficial. With log analysis, we could eliminate our dependence on Splunk Enterprise and rely solely on APM. The user interface design of APM seems intuitive, which would likely simplify setting up log-level alerts. Currently, all log-level alerting is done through Splunk Enterprise, while infrastructure-level alerting has already transitioned to Splunk APM. The Splunk APM documentation on the official Splunk website could benefit from additional resources. Specifically, including more examples of adapter creation and management using real-world use cases would be helpful. During our setup process, we found the documentation lacked specific implementation details. While some general information was available on public platforms like Google and YouTube, it wasn't comprehensive. This suggests that others using Splunk APM in the future might face similar challenges due to the limited information available on social media. It's important to remember that many users rely on social media for setup guidance these days.
Enhancing system availability and optimizing service performance are crucial. It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays.

They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved. I also use LogMeIn where I can use predefined keywords to see the logs. They should give us the option to use our own language to search. For example, I should be able to search for an ID name along with an error or status code.
Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want. Its documentation and accessibility to end-users could also be better.

We can't really configure the solution. The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future. We'd like the solution to be better integrated with Splunk Cloud.

The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected.

It's a little bit technical. The cardinality is pretty low. They need to expand their reach.
