Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics
They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.

Unified observability has improved real-time governance and now drives data-led decisions
Log Observer Connect is embedded here, but we are facing some delays in centralized log collection and analysis, which can be further fastened. We are collecting all the data metrics and decision-making insights, but all these data-driven decisions coming from different applications are not connected somewhere. A consolidated form or correlation of these insights is not happening between each other due to which we feel we are missing something significant. Some generalized feedback includes that predictive alerts or alarms which can be integrated with AI-driven alarms and alerting features should be established so that there is AI-driven intelligence and anomaly detection happening with a complete systematic process in service delivery. Application dependencies are huge, and business and operational dashboards should be improved. Right now there are very interactive custom dashboards, and every now and then, the personalization of enhancements keeps happening. KPI monitoring, executive reporting, and analytics have definitely been introduced to a great extent. There are few things in cloud-native monitoring, such as integration with AWS and Azure, where we sometimes do face lags. Those things can definitely be improved upon. I have used Datadog and Dynatrace before using Splunk Observability Cloud. Datadog was definitely recommended by most of our peers because of its very strong comprehensive observability and very strong and unique dashboard systems. Dynatrace was also very good because they have offered a lot of AI-driven analysis methods and processes, which was helping our organization a lot. Since our organization has a very strong IT ecosystem for agriculture, very different kinds of customized things are required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Application end-to-end monitoring: This is one of the good features available in the tool, as it includes error detection, capturing exception, method calling tree, transaction flow map, etc."
"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"The other teams, the problems they had with the other monitoring tools, I feel have been solved with Splunk Observability Cloud to some extent, so that is going well so far."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive."
"The features of Splunk Observability Cloud that I prefer the most are its all-encompassing licensing model, which is comparatively better than others in the market."
"Previously, we faced a systematic performance lag of around twenty to thirty percent, which has now reduced to just two to five percent—an improvement we can credibly showcase to our clientele."
"The solution monitors attacks or unauthorized access to the information we want to protect."
"Splunk's GUI and dashboard capacity are the most valuable features of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"Regarding the AI capabilities of Splunk Observability Cloud, I think its governance and security need much exploration."
"The RUM part of Splunk Observability Cloud can be improved significantly."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"Splunk Observability Cloud's customer support could be better as I think response times are pretty slow compared to the Splunk Cloud product."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"We were facing some challenges with the stability of Splunk Observability Cloud regarding the login page. It was not working several times and was not accepting SSO authentication."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"The learning curve for understanding all features should be improved, and the cost can increase."
