YE
A powerful service that is very stable and scalable
It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

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.

Pros

"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
"The solution monitors attacks or unauthorized access to the information we want to protect."
"Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) has one great advantage in that if they have SAP users, they can monitor their SAP applications."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The most valuable features include user time tracking and the ability to analyze application load times."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."

Cons

"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."

"Splunk Observability Cloud has not yet completely improved our operational performance for our company's resilience as we are just starting out, however, it will help us ultimately to reduce incident time."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"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."

"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
