Because AppDynamics offers multi-tenant monitoring capabilities to track performance across various customer environments, it is a good choice for SaaS platform monitoring.

Splunk
Splunk RUM was really helpful in identifying brute force attacks as we used Splunk query language and were able to identify how many failed login attempts were made from which country and blacklisted those IP's. Since Splunk entirely depends on Splunk query language, if there are no logs or you delete the logs you can't perform analysis, as there is no stream of live data and also it depends on how frequently your data can be indexed.

It is very user friendly as we were quickly able to adjust to its usability and the vendor who onboarded us with the product delivered phenomenal after sales vendor support. The dashboards are also easy to setup so you can view what is relevant to yourself as a System Administrator.
