AppDynamics vs Splunk Cloud: What are the differences?

Developers describe AppDynamics as "Application management for the cloud generation". AppDynamics develops application performance management (APM) solutions that deliver problem resolution for highly distributed applications through transaction flow monitoring and deep diagnostics. On the other hand, Splunk Cloud is detailed as "Easy and fast way to analyze valuable machine data with the convenience of software as a service (SaaS)". If you're looking for all the benefits of Splunk® Enterprise with all the benefits of software-as-a-service, then look no further. Splunk Cloud is backed by a 100% uptime SLA, scales to over 10TB/day, and offers a highly secure environment.

AppDynamics belongs to "Performance Monitoring" category of the tech stack, while Splunk Cloud can be primarily classified under "Log Management".

Some of the features offered by AppDynamics are:

  • End User Monitoring
  • Real-Time Business Transaction Monitoring
  • Visualize & Manage your Entire Application

On the other hand, Splunk Cloud provides the following key features:

  • Splunk Cloud delivers all the features of award-winning Splunk® Enterprise, as a cloud-based service. The platform provides access to various apps and enables centralized visibility across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments
  • Instant: Instant trial and instant conversion from POC to production
  • Secure: Completed SOC2 Type 2 Attestation*. Dedicated cloud environments for each customer

"Deep code visibility" is the top reason why over 10 developers like AppDynamics, while over 3 developers mention "More powerful & Integrates with on-prem & off-prem" as the leading cause for choosing Splunk Cloud.

According to the StackShare community, AppDynamics has a broader approval, being mentioned in 10 company stacks & 11 developers stacks; compared to Splunk Cloud, which is listed in 10 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.

Hi Folks,

I am trying to evaluate Site24x7 against AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and New Relic. Has anyone used Site24X7? If so, what are your opinions on the tool? I know that the license costs are very low compared to other tools in the market. Other than that, are there any major issues anyone has encountered using the tool itself?
