We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"We've had great feedback from our customers about SevOne support. They're willing to set up a remote session upon request. You have to go through three tiers of support with most vendors, and they ask a lot of screening questions before they will do a remote session. You need to spend a lot of time before an engineer will host a remote session to look at your problematic system."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box."
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
"The price has room for improvement."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
