Which of the following is NOT listed as a competitor in Application Analytics?

• A. Dynatrace
• B. Splunk ITSI
• C. New Relic
• D. DataDog

Answer: (B)

Application Analytics focuses on tools that provide deep visibility into how applications perform, with code-level metrics, traces, and user experience across distributed environments. Dynatrace, New Relic, and DataDog are classic examples of this space, offering APM capabilities that directly compete for optimizing app performance and reliability.

Splunk ITSI belongs to a different part of the ecosystem. It’s Splunk’s IT Service Intelligence product, built to correlate events and logs and present service-centric dashboards for IT operations and incident response. While it can inform application health, it’s not typically categorized as an Application Analytics/APM competitor in the same way as the others. That distinction is why Splunk ITSI isn’t listed as a competitor in Application Analytics.
