We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."To be honest, it's a fantastic product."
"The most valuable feature in this solution, for our business, is the clear way of projecting the connections between the database and the traffic inflow. This is very helpful when troubleshooting issues."
"AppDynamics is scalable. They can monitor billions of transactions because they're not monitoring all transactions. They're monitoring samples. So, they can offer good monitoring for the huge sites."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"Knowing which tables on the database were working the most was valuable. It helped the client understand where they need to focus. They streamlined a lot of their queries and brought the resource usage down. It helped them to find long-running queries. They rewrote them completely so that they don't take as long and the application performs better."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"In my experience, it's easy to use. There's nothing complex to learn or fear. You can quickly adapt to it without the need for extensive training."
"AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"It gives us good visibility into multiple environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid; irrespective of platform."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be a better product if it could support new technology, such as cloud technology. Even Dynatrace lacks support for newer technologies."
"Based on the user experience feedback that we have had, I think that the most important thing to improve is the availability of the SaaS, the cloud environment."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications."
"We had some connections issues with the solution at the beginning."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad."
