Manager, Platform Engineering at ECi Software Solutions
Automated incident response has improved ownership clarity and data-driven decision making
I believe one of the biggest impacts FireHydrant had on my organization was identifying ownership across services and products and then being able to track execution.Tracking execution and identifying ownership improved things for my teams because nobody could hide behind a "I didn't know" or "it wasn't a problem" kind of response. As long as deep observabilities were in place, so logs, metrics, and traces, identifying where the issues were and then routing to those teams was critical. This also allowed me to take a data-driven approach in identifying where further R&D needed to happen across the product suite based off of what our customers were actually doing, bypassing biases from sales teams, development teams, and others.
Ramani Happy - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at Data Elicit Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Pros

"I believe one of the biggest impacts FireHydrant had on my organization was identifying ownership across services and products and then being able to track execution."
"FireHydrant had a great impact on my organization, given we were using it consistently across all the incidents that we had."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
 

Cons

"Back then, I think there were some missing features in their Terraform provider, so that is the only thing that comes into my mind regarding needed improvements."
"FireHydrant's AI capabilities need to be treated with scrutiny regarding accuracy and reliability of output, and for the provider to be able to instill absolute trust in the user base is very difficult."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."

What needs improvement with VictorOps?
I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved. I have already started to gather metrics from the tool and started to analyze that. I would...
What is your primary use case for VictorOps?
I am currently working with Splunk Cloud, but I could review Splunk Enterprise as well because it is fundamentally the same product but with hosting being on-premises instead. Splunk Enterprise, Sp...
