"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"All the metrics are baselines in networks, infrastructure, application, and user experience. AppDynamics offers its own query language. It is called ADQL. You can write code of any kind to do queries and analysis and you can use those within the reporting or within other research."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"Speeds up root cause analysis and can help identify issues that your organization never realized were occurring."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"The search lookups are useful."
"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive. That's because the model is based on how much data it processes a day, which can be prohibitive, especially if you have a lot of data. A lot of customers may not be ready for the sticker shock on how to fully leverage the product. I realized that the reason for that is that when it was originally designed, it was kind of like a big data modeling application. If they want to have a bigger customer base, they can come out with subsets of their product that are focused on specific things and have different pricing models. It may help with the cost."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
