Likelihood to Recommend	SmartBear It's great for tracking bugs on your app. I don't think I can do anything else besides that... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Splunk Good for below cases 1. There is a front end and need to correlate data with front end data 2. multiple microservices and need to check the health of each system 3. correlate data from various sources 4. Application performance is a key to be captured 5. application performance is a key metric. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	SmartBear The UI/UX is well designed. I have never been confused by any buttons/filters/settings, and everything is laid out in a neat and organized fashion. Setup was super easy. I didn't have to do anything but read the documentation, which was well written. The information captured by errors has everything I would need to debug an issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Splunk Detect and Troubleshoot, which allows team to eliminate errors. Dashboard creates a one stop location for environment health Provides visibility, access to logs and user data real time. Incentivized John Abraham Director of Information Systems - ACOM Read full review
Cons	SmartBear For really long bugs, it'd be nice if you hovered over the row and it expanded the text so you didn't have to click on the actual bug to view everything. It would be nice if there was a filter for grouping bugs instead of searching by their name. Honestly nothing else, I love 99% of Bugsnag. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Splunk I wish Splunk Application Performance Monitoring could integrate with packet capture and analysis tools and provide the integrated analysis results on each tier of the application Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	SmartBear No answers on this topic	Splunk Splunk is a great tool for log mining. It is less time-consuming and easy to use. It provides high security, it has customisable dashboards. Furthermore, it acts as a search head, and it gives real-time status. It has the ability to collect data from any source and multiple sources, and it can correlate them.

Alternatives Considered	SmartBear No answers on this topic	Splunk It is good that the correlation analysis and the cause of the failure can be analyzed more extensively through the collection of many data. It is good because it provides a user interface (usability) well and can be used conveniently. It is good because it can utilize anomaly detection through various AI-based ML models.
