There were issues with performing upgrades, however, we can now plan better for the future.
The insight on availability trends (CPU, Swap & IO) function is valuable We can now plan better for the future as a result of more insights about our server farm. Service monitoring Host vs virtual instance I've used if for over two years. There were none, but there were issues with…

Unified observability has improved real-time governance and now drives data-led decisions
Log Observer Connect is embedded here, but we are facing some delays in centralized log collection and analysis, which can be further fastened. We are collecting all the data metrics and decision-making insights, but all these data-driven decisions coming from different applications are not connected somewhere. A consolidated form or correlation of these insights is not happening between each other due to which we feel we are missing something significant. Some generalized feedback includes that predictive alerts or alarms which can be integrated with AI-driven alarms and alerting features should be established so that there is AI-driven intelligence and anomaly detection happening with a complete systematic process in service delivery. Application dependencies are huge, and business and operational dashboards should be improved. Right now there are very interactive custom dashboards, and every now and then, the personalization of enhancements keeps happening. KPI monitoring, executive reporting, and analytics have definitely been introduced to a great extent. There are few things in cloud-native monitoring, such as integration with AWS and Azure, where we sometimes do face lags. Those things can definitely be improved upon. I have used Datadog and Dynatrace before using Splunk Observability Cloud. Datadog was definitely recommended by most of our peers because of its very strong comprehensive observability and very strong and unique dashboard systems. Dynatrace was also very good because they have offered a lot of AI-driven analysis methods and processes, which was helping our organization a lot. Since our organization has a very strong IT ecosystem for agriculture, very different kinds of customized things are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need to have more insight about your data center, Copperegg is the way to go."
"We were in the need of a fast-to-deploy solution for the external monitoring of our servers, and Copperegg gave us all the needed features plus the internal and custom metrics."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has optimized our solutions and helped us understand the metrics."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"Previously with other applications, analyzing and controlling our API latency required almost five to six hours a day of resources, but with Splunk Observability Cloud, I only need to allocate one to two hours maximum per day to accomplish the same tasks."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"This product is very stable."
"Customer service and technical support respond very quickly."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
 

Cons

"There were none, but there were issues with performing upgrades."
"Yes, some days the service was down and we did not find an accurate response from the company."
"When we have too many detectors in place for one particular app, such as when I have created 50+ detectors through my account, the entire page becomes a bit loaded when creating the 51st detector, feeling heavy and taking time to load."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"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."
"In Splunk Observability Cloud, I notice room for improvement in synthetic monitoring. It does not provide output based on server names."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"Overall, I would rate Splunk Observability Cloud a three out of ten."
"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."
"If a customer utilizes third-party tools and wants to forward data from Splunk Observability Cloud, seamless integration would be beneficial."
