Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.

Unified monitoring has transformed agriculture training data into secure, actionable insights
The foundational pillars of Splunk AppDynamics are very strong, and we do not have any issues. However, there are standardization challenges with limited visibility on some parameters when the system is integrated with multiple platforms because of differing technology stacks. Many applications function on different technologies, making fetching data difficult. We have discussed this with the business team, and they have said that they will offer a standardized application architecture through which APIs can be made more stable and accommodating. We have also requested a centralized monitoring framework and network, as many clients operate out of India and have requested centralized systems for real-time performance monitoring with just one click. Improvements and enhancements are happening weekly, and there are requests for regular training and orientation. I believe those things can be incorporated, but otherwise, everything is fantastic. For the agriculture ecosystem, there are many areas in remote or rural areas where connectivity constraints are huge. Limited internet bandwidth makes real-time monitoring difficult. We have requested the team to develop a hybrid model for real-time monitoring on lower bandwidth as well. Deploying offline-first or low-bandwidth solutions would strengthen synchronization. Additionally, mobile applications for rural environments would be beneficial. In data quality and governance, sometimes the system gives duplicate records, and there is inconsistency when checking data fields. It is not frequent, but we believe a complete solution can be developed here.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"We found AppDynamics much more user friendly, easy to spot performance issues, and great unified end-to-end monitoring capabilities."
"After installation of APM, we realized the value within five or ten minutes."
"AppDynamics was crucial for us pinpointing root cause and fixing it."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"The metrics browser is very useful, and the deep dive feature is very useful for us."
"Using AppDynamics, we have been able to monitor what is happening using fantastic metrics that it provides."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
 

Cons

"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions."
"Sometimes different results appear for the same scenario."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"Nothing’s perfect."
"Regarding Search Guard functionality, there is room for improvement."
"AppDynamics should improve its ability to track all the transactions."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"I would like more flexible pricing: A pay-per-use model, rather than just a fixed-price model."
"I would say the solution is affordable because it is widely used across financial service sectors."
"We have two different licensing models for this solution. One of them is the agent based model, which requires payment per agent. The other is an infrastructure based model, where the price is based on the CPU core. For the infrastructure model wholesale level pricing applies. All of the up to date licensing prices for this product are available on the manufacturers website."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
"The price of AppDynamics could be reduced in my region."
"The tool is expensive."
"Yearly payments have to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution. The solution has no additional costs apart from the licensing costs."
