PR
Provides centralized data observability features and has an easy-to-use user interface.
The product's initial setup is in a daily improvement stage, deploying new plugins for upstream and downstream resources. It takes 25 minutes to complete. The process involves integrating with third-party services for Single Sign-On (SSO). It requires only one executive for maintenance as it has easy-to-use navigation and user interface.

Collaborates performance metrics with log data to pinpoint the exact cause of issues and offers error detection
Splunk APM is a robust tool with many capabilities. There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience. For Splunk APM, there could be simplified navigation, like streamlining the user interface to make navigation more intuitive for our users, especially those new to APM, which can enhance usability. We can provide more customization options for dashboards and visualizations to help users tailor the platform to their specific needs. There could be more integration capabilities with a wider range of third-party tools and platforms would also be beneficial. By focusing on these areas, Splunk APM can enhance its value proposition, improve user satisfaction, and better meet the evolving needs of organizations monitoring their application performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It makes organizing work easier based on its relevance to specific projects and teams."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"The most valuable feature is dashboard creation."
"The company has many systems that the customer is paying to access. Splunk APM issued via AppDynamics helps find problems in the feed. It reduces the risk of supervising all the devices. I can supervise the flow and simulate the conditions of the repository across several dashboards to show what's happening at the moment."
"Splunk APM provides a holistic view of the application. Unlike other APMs, Splunk's service map is quite effective."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
 

Cons

"For anomaly detection, the product provides only the last three weeks of data, while some competitors can analyze a more extended data history."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the alerting system, which is complicated and has less documentation available. We sometimes encountered issues in setting up alerts."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The dashboards are used mainly to visualize information about the infrastructure, but it isn't easy to construct or use the dashboards. While we tried to resolve the issue by calling support, it would be easier if they had an AI co-pilot to identify the problem and help you solve it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has moderate pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."
"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."
"The price of Slunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"Splunk APM is expensive."
