Cons
"The cardinality is pretty low.""The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected.""Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring.""There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics.""We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM.""They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved.""Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand.""I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."

More Splunk APM Cons →

"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning.""The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product.""It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework.""It would be good if an interface was included in the next release.""Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."
