Clients experience effective network management and comprehensive monitoring
Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products. Sometimes they have different kinds of products available in their network. For monitoring that network, they have to either procure more solutions from third parties or they have to procure the provider OEM to manage their switches. If Arista can integrate third-party switches for monitoring purposes, it will be beneficial for the customers. Arista and other competitors such as Cisco or HPE Aruba have their own benefits. Cisco and Aruba face the challenge of having multiple OS for networking their products, whereas Arista has a single OS across their products. This is very beneficial for customers as they only have to manage a single OS.

Alerting improves incident response across teams and enables faster awareness before customer impact
Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved in terms of integrations with more technical add-ons, such as Zoom. Although they have one with Zoom, it's not available in the cloud, so having that feature would be beneficial. Essentially, Splunk should continue expanding to create easier ways to ingest logs from different products. The out-of-the-box customizable dashboards in Splunk Observability Cloud are very effective in showcasing IT performance to business leaders. However, there are aspects that could be improved, such as linking dashboards to one another. While IT leaders may not drill down, it's crucial to create levels of dashboards for technical users to find root causes, making it effective for stakeholders.

Pros

"The product provides a central management feature. It helps in eliminating human errors. It doesn't have a lot of bugs for software."
"A single point of management and monitoring, as well as upgradation and update is valuable."
"The product provides a central management feature. It helps in eliminating human errors. It doesn't have a lot of bugs for software."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"From an ROI perspective, Splunk Observability Cloud offers much higher value because, as I mentioned earlier, our MTTR has reduced by more than 50%, which decreases the overall downtime for our application."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is highly effective in improving digital resilience, as real-time visibility, proactive alerting, fast root cause analysis, distributed tracing, and AI-driven insights enable anomaly detection, which allows us to quickly understand failures, recover faster, maintain system availability, and handle failures in complex distributed environments by seeing how services interact and where breakdowns occur."
"Customer service and technical support respond very quickly."
"Splunk APM helps us to find errors immediately and resolve them."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is effective for detecting anomalies and preventing system outages."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
 

Cons

"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."
"Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products."
"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has not yet completely improved our operational performance for our company's resilience as we are just starting out, however, it will help us ultimately to reduce incident time."
"They can get more integration with a few more products. They can also update some of the dashboards that are in there now."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The RUM part of Splunk Observability Cloud can be improved significantly."
"In terms of pricing, I have one issue with Splunk Observability Cloud; in a large-scale organization, it does not have features such as cost optimization or budgeting for observability spend."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CloudVision is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"CloudVision is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."

"The solution's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."
