Featured Reviews

Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Taiwo Ige - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Operations Engineer at ABC Supply Co. Inc.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"User session details"
"After trying many products with little satisfaction, we can finally say that we have found the best product on the market to monitor Citrix environments."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"It supports proactive management, enhances security, and improves operational efficiency."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provided our customers with visibility into their overall infrastructure."
"The company has many systems that the customer is paying to access. Splunk APM issued via AppDynamics helps find problems in the feed. It reduces the risk of supervising all the devices. I can supervise the flow and simulate the conditions of the repository across several dashboards to show what's happening at the moment."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
 

Cons

"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved by having more integration with Splunk Cloud because at the moment they're two separate products. They're making great moves on what they call unified access; tighter integration is always a good thing."
"Particularly what we're having is disconnection from the cloud console, where we will be working in it and receive a message saying that we've been disconnected and have to wait for it to come up."
"We never had any issues when it comes to the type of use cases we are using it for. We did not need more advancement on it, but I know that, in general, everything can be updated. There are tiny little tweaks that can be made regardless of whether it looks better or has a different flow to it than it does right now, but it works pretty well for what we use it for."
"Overall, I would rate Splunk Observability Cloud a three out of ten."
"I would rate Splunk technical support at six out of ten. When we have a problem and need to create a case, the response isn't quick."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"They can get more integration with a few more products. They can also update some of the dashboards that are in there now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"The product is very cheap."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"It is not expensive."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing cost is the biggest argument I get from those divesting from Splunk. There are those within our organization who say we are going to go to other tools since Splunk is too expensive."
"It is expensive."
"Splunk's infrastructure monitoring costs can be high because our billing is based on data volume measured in terabytes, rather than the number of devices being monitored."
"I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."
"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
"The solution's pricing is costly."
