Overall Satisfaction with Splunk AppDynamics

In my case, as a software developer at a financial institution, I am responsible for developing the integration layer in the bank's architecture, so I often use Splunk AppDynamics to monitor my applications: their heartbeats, their status, the number of users using my API, etc. It also shows me the links between the different services.

Pros

  • Status of microservices
  • relation between different microservices
  • number of users using my services

Cons

  • installation
  • using Splunk AppDynamics over cloud
  • setting Splunk AppDynamics configuration with microservices
  • negative impact: too expensive for the annual licence fee
  • positive impact: comprehensive monitoring of every small and large detail of microservices
  • positive impact: in the event of a crash and shutdown, it helps you identify the area of failure
Actually, I would like to give it a score of 10 out of 10, but taking into account certain factors such as: the cost of the annual licence, the complexity of installation and configuration, the blurring of setting Splunk AppDynamics over the cloud and especially OpenShift since we use it as a container platform. So, 8 out of 10 looks perfect for it
Splunk AppDynamics is ideal for enterprises seeking business-centric observability with fast, out-of-the-box performance monitoring. It connects application health to business outcomes through Business iQ, enabling real-time insights for stakeholders. With broad technology support and automatic topology discovery, it simplifies complex monitoring tasks. Splunk AppDynamics also offers powerful AI-driven root cause analysis, anomaly detection, and guided workflows, helping teams quickly identify and resolve issues. It's especially effective for large, distributed, or hybrid environments needing deep transaction tracing and reliable performance visibility.

Recently, our mobile app crashed for no apparent reason! Suddenly, without any specific warning or prior issues leading up to this major crash. Everyone tried to blame the integration layer. But... thanks to Splunk AppDynamics, I proved that our microservices are working well and are responsive and that did not only prove that we are innocent, but also helped us to figure the main reason of the crash
