Featured Reviews

Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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

"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"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."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Observability Cloud is Synthetic Monitoring."
"The most valuable features include user time tracking and the ability to analyze application load times."
"Initially, before Splunk, we had a long time to resolve issues; now, with Splunk Observability Cloud, we will be able to solve them quickly and know exactly where the issue is."
"The most valuable feature is dashboard creation."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has helped improve my operational performance; previously, we used Elastic for similar purposes, and this has allowed us much more visibility into what we're working on with usable dashboards and metrics, which has been awesome."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
 

Cons

"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"One thing I recently ran into was that the logs on the server most often get Gzipped after they have been rotated. We found that we were not monitoring some of the things, so we had to go back and pull them in. Right now, it pulls one at a time, untars it, or unzips it, so I cannot look at the entire history. There can be an improvement in that area."
"To improve Splunk Observability Cloud, we need more applications to be included in the observability so that more applications can have agents to monitor them and bring that information to the cloud."
"Technical support is good but could be improved, particularly concerning the time taken for ticket resolution."
"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."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"Integrating some third-party add-ons can be challenging, involving many implementation and configuration steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"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'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"It is not expensive."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"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."
"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is costly."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
