"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"The analytics are great."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"It's pretty stable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features like seamless integration and a SQL-standard Structured Query Language for easy searching."
"Visualizations are the best way to understand deviation techniques from the norm."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"It gives us good visibility into multiple environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid; irrespective of platform."
"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."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"There are limitations with Splunk not detecting all user activity, especially on mainframes and network devices."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
