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.

Automation and custom reporting impress while support resolution needs improvement
Workspace ONE Intelligence comes under a separate cost if you purchase UEM, making it a useful tool. The current features available in Workspace ONE Intelligence meet all use cases, so there isn't currently a need for improvement. Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days. The main issue is the time to resolve problems, not the time to response, which is adequate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"The features of Splunk AppDynamics that I appreciate most are the business processes, which benefit my organization by providing a bigger picture, not only of their own systems, however, how it influences other parts of the environment and how we are being influenced by other parts."
"The transaction snapshots are the most valuable feature of AppDynamics"
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"The customer service and support are helpful and responsive."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
"Integration is also very easy."
 

Cons

"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"There are certain limitations with the agents in the solution"
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"It is stable, but the only downside is the licensing part."
"Splunk AppDynamics does not support the complete MELT framework, which includes metrics, events, logging, and tracing for the entire stack. It lacks maturity in correlation within the observability spectrum."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. ​"
"Because it is priced per JVM, the price can increase pretty fast, into the millions. We have had challenges because we had to justify the price to our clients, as well, when we are putting in certain tools."
"AppDynamics is more expensive than competitors."
"If one is expensive and ten is low price, I rate the product price as seven out of ten."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a very expensive product, but if you negotiate well, you get value for money...My company used to make early payments toward the licensing costs of the solution, but now my company has opted for a different licensing model."
"The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
"I was not involved with the procurement of AppDynamic, but I believe it's expensive."
"The pricing model for AppDynamics could be better. You have to subscribe to a yearly or a three-year licensing, which isn't very handy. The solution is one of the most expensive in the market today."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
