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."ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"ITSM is a valuable feature, it complies with the requirements in Pakistan."
"What I like most about ManageEngine Applications Manager is its price point, apart from its technicalities. The solution is cheaper than its competitors. ManageEngine Applications Manager has helpful documentation that makes setting it up straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to be able to monitor Kubernetes."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"Its price and the flexibility to deploy are the most valuable. Flexibility is very important, and you can scale from very basic to more complex. This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important. You can expand it or interconnect it with many other tools, which is a powerful feature. We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys. They provide very good support for us."
"We do not have pricing constraints as an organization, because we do have reservations about ManageEngine being functionally scalable."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"The log aggregation is great."
"One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."
"It allows for transparency into IT metrics for insightful business analytics."
"The speed of the search engine"
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"The dashboards in the interface need a lot of work."
"Even with the top-notch dashboard, it could be made stronger in order to have an additional plug-in for analytics."
"The information provided by ManageEngine is not deep-dive like IBM and CA provide."
"The agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side. If a sudden storm of data comes in, the agent crashes down most of the time."
"One area of improvement is the dashboard should be more readable and available."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"Splunk could improve its default machine-learning models. Also, Splunk Enterprise's native threat intelligence isn't that good. I prefer a custom threat intelligence model."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"Many of my clients want to get better at Splunk, but they're afraid of using the tool because they feel it's too complex for them."
