One thing I like most about AppDynamic is the ability to monitor all kinds of applications/hosts/Databases. AppDynamics is a promising observing arrangement according to an APM perspective. It delves profoundly into discovering underlying drivers of issues down to the very strategy call or DB inquiry, the client who's signed in, and so forth, which saves a great deal of issues of groups. The apparatus is a shelter for severe DevOps groups who have everyone working firmly together, to welcome them all on a similar stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Splunk AppDynamics? Delay in alerting when a service crashes or health rule violates is one of the biggest challenges faced by app developers. And deployment document is lacking, they have specified only install, But It would be better if they provide frequently encountered issue. The UI lacks many features like searching data.

"A Game Changer in SAP Performance Monitoring" 4/5 What do you like best about Splunk AppDynamics? Transaction snapshot drill down gives very detailed insight of the transaction that was slow or in error, the call graphs provide the quickest view of an transaction path with time taken at each node and time taken between nodes. The upsides are baseline comparison against daily/weekly/monthly trends. Custom dashboards caters the needs of all the teams across every level in our organization. Violations and Anomalies section is much helpful to view all violations with severity and timeline when we have a major disruption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Splunk AppDynamics? AppD must colloborate with SAP and enable to monitor SAP Cloud Applications. The downsides are sometimes AppD gave incorrect CPU utilization which then needed fine tuning. It caused 15 minutes disruption to our business when the AppD machine agents were reconfigured during business hours. During the troubleshooting underlying error showed more than 90% of the time consumed by AppD agent which was later corrected. Real time user monitoring browser plugin for SAP cloud applications was causing other issues which prevented the SAP application to work as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Splunk AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you? AppD helped to identify that the F5 load balancers were distributing more load to only 2 nodes and remaining 4 nodes were underutilized. Identified a long running query in the database which lead the developer to identify a code issue by Wipro which caused the user to wait for almost 2 minutes on a C4C screen. It highlighted the violation by a batch program which was processing 10 times more than the usual records. Whenever a major disruption is reported by users, it reflected the exact user experience, the timeline and the number of slow/error transactions match with user report Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dashboarding and Reporting with Dash Studio give greater insights 2. Database insight( DB Monitoring) gives an application team a transparency 3. Root cause Analysis /Anomaly detection( SAAS only) 4.

What do you dislike about Splunk AppDynamics? 1. Appd doesn't have any roadmap to add AI/ML and many more capabilities to on-premise setup which they already have in SAAS from years. 2. Appd license model is very difficult to understand and then if we want to manage per application, it is very difficult. 3. Appd Synthetic is having many flaws - stability, manage PSA health, support etc, raise my enhancement but no luck 4. Appd DB events are moving to Analytics even it is there in Event service cluster which restrict us in proactive alerting, reporting and analysis. 5. Appd doesn't have any integration or way to analysis threads and provide the root cause at thread level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Splunk AppDynamics: I would recommends to have a business requirement listed down and then select the tool. For my organization use case , Appd suits best as we have done POC with Dynatrace, appd and NEw-Relic , from all the three Appd scored highest. Use SAAS for better AIOPs feature and being ahead in technology and solutioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Splunk AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you? 1. Solved various issue in the below direction a. Faster RCA - provided the visibility the issue is around Infra, Application, DB or user experience b. Prevent P0,P1 - prevented P0 \*P1 by proactive anomaly detection using baseline c. End user productivity - By increasing end user performance by improving on error and heavy call/methods. d. Automation - Using the auto remediation and auto thread dump collections e. KPIs - Earlier their was no way to measure the Service health, now with appd, we have such KPIs. f.

While the APM component is very mature, the EUM tool adds a critical aspect that we have really been missing - the visibility into network errors, app crashes, and other client side issues, which provide a much more compelling story during incident triage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Splunk AppDynamics? The OnPrem EUM product has had a lot of scalability issues handling our large customer base. Features for the OnPrem version lag far behind the SAS offering when compared to other OnPrem vendors. Responsiveness and effectiveness of the support resources for the EUM product have been inconsistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Splunk AppDynamics solving and how is that benefiting you? EUM allows us to detect network problems, which in the past, we could only infer. This has been extremely helpful when compelling vendors to address connectivity issues in their networks. Similarly - EUM paints a much clearer picture of the impact to clients from server-side performance issues, many of which seem minor to app developers, but may cause seconds of delay for customers. Visibility is the most critical aspect for solving any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
