Sentiment score
7.4
Splunk AppDynamics is praised for scalability across environments, though pricing and large deployments pose occasional challenges.
We have reached maximum capacity in our tier, and extending capacity has not been cost-effective from Splunk's perspective.
I did not find any Docker solution available with it, and a separate instance has to be installed.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
LogicMonitor is highly stable, with minimal downtime, strong alerting features, frequent updates, and high user satisfaction.
Sentiment score
7.7
Splunk AppDynamics offers strong stability and high performance, with minimal downtime and excellent support despite occasional issues.
It is necessary to conduct appropriate testing before deploying them in production to prevent potential outages.
I can rate it nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

LogicMonitor users seek enhanced monitoring customization, automation, reporting, performance monitoring, and improved alarm, topology, dashboards, and email alert features.
Splunk AppDynamics requires improvements in interface design, setup, mobile compatibility, real-time monitoring, and modern technology support.
Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial.
If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems.
 

Setup Cost

LogicMonitor offers competitive pricing at $7.75 per device, with discounts, and justifies its cost through robust functionality.
Enterprise users find Splunk AppDynamics pricing complex and costly, requiring careful assessment and negotiation for better deals.
Customers have to pay a premium price, however, they receive considerable value from the product.
All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage.
 

Valuable Features

Dashboards provide interactive visualization, custom monitoring, robust reporting, and integration with alerts, Google Maps, NetFlow, and AI-driven anomaly detection.
Splunk AppDynamics offers comprehensive observability, real-time monitoring, and efficient transaction analysis across development and production environments with minimal overhead.
What I like the most about Splunk AppDynamics is the end-to-end observability for the application, along with traces.
The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows.
The real-time feature provides me with insights into what's happening.

Henry-Steinhauer - PeerSpot reviewer
They have an active community of users who are willing to share their experiences and how they have extended the solution to do unusual things.
I'm a learn-by-example person, so it would be nice to have a cookbook for enterprise management. They have a rich API process, but there aren't many examples of how to do enterprise-style work. It is peculiar about how to do it for one device, but not necessarily thousands. LogicMonitor can effortlessly pull data from one item at a time. I have yet to find an excellent way to get LogicMonitor to show me all the WAN devices and how they're doing in terms of capacity.
Muhammad Zeeshan Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamic mapping enhances workflows that are user-friendly
One aspect that requires improvement is the agent. Without an agent, gathering sufficient information on applications is challenging. Additionally, the agent sometimes creates performance issues in production environments. If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems. Moving to an agentless solution, like what some competitors are doing, would be beneficial.
