Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Has enabled us to detect issues instantly through alerts and monitor every service from a single dashboard
Splunk requires significantly more improvements compared to Splunk AppDynamics, specifically regarding the licensing aspect. Splunk renews licenses every six months, which is inconvenient. It would be better to have a one-year license to avoid needing to update keys constantly, which can only occur on weekends, making it a burdensome task. Although Splunk is better for certain use cases, Splunk AppDynamics is broader in functionality. Specifically, I want enhancements related to creating dashboards not only for logs or minor services but also for configuration levels, allowing us to check configurations immediately without manually opening the entire code when exceptions arise—a feature I wish to see improved in Splunk, although it may not be necessary for Splunk AppDynamics.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"The product is simple to use."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"User session details"
"Users can configure business sections in their environment, and it's possible for customers to configure different sources for the name of the class, the name of the method, or the name of the web service, which is very interesting."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"The correlation feature available with AppDynamics Server Monitoring is absent in other competitive solutions"
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"Before we moved the code to AppDynamics, we had to compare the agile process and also had to make sure that they're following the standards."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"Splunk AppDynamics tells us what the top 10 queries are which are actually contributing to the load on the database, and it gives us the view of what exactly the query does, whether it uses more DB CPU or is contributing to the roll-up contention on the database."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"The integration must be improved."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"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."
"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There are many KPIs that are not available in AppDynamics."
"When it comes to the front end with my Node.js and React.js applications, it doesn't capture much of the details."
"I have to use Splunk AppDynamics because the organization already implemented it. But my experience as an SME, subject matter expert on the APM tool, I would probably lean towards Datadog a little bit more than Splunk AppDynamics."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"There could log management features included in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"It is not expensive."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"The product is very cheap."
"One of the main downsides to the solution is its cost."
"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."
"We find its pricing reasonable and competitive. After it was acquired by Cisco, we found it acceptable."
"The solution has a high cost."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"I rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring's pricing as seven out of ten. Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
