GTM Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower

The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

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

"We have definitely seen ROI since we first implemented Infraon, three years ago, as it has given us clarity and helped us with compliance during audits."

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"Being an engineering product, the customization is easy for us compared to SolarWinds and ManageEngine."

"Overall, it's a wonderful one-stop ITSM solution for infrastructure."

"Infraon IMS allows us to do several things from a single window, which is important to us."

"It is a stable product; after the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much, and all systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."

"With Infraon, everything is already built-in so you are able to plug-and-play with the system."

"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."

More Infraon IMS pros

"I manage six tools, but Splunk Observability Cloud is one of my favorites, and I aspire to build my career specializing in it because it has great features, more attention in the market, and is a relatively new tool with promising growth."

"Splunk APM helps us to find errors immediately and resolve them."

"After implementing observability, I could see end-to-end transaction tracing and quickly identify where issues arose, which reduced troubleshooting time and improved overall application stability and availability for our customers and systems."

"The most valuable feature is log reporting."

"The dashboards are the features of Splunk Observability Cloud that I appreciate the most, providing visual representation of all data and text, which has benefited my organization by speeding up people's jobs and allowing a place to monitor all logs, as there are usually thousands of entries coming in which can become very disorderly."

"In terms of the application performance security, application performance tooling has been a key factor for me using Splunk."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provided our customers with visibility into their overall infrastructure."

"I recommend Splunk Observability Cloud to other organizations because we are currently saving our engineers time by 20 to 30 percent, and for infrastructure alerting, we can use it to ensure that servers will not go down."

More Splunk Observability Cloud pros

Cons

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."

"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."

"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."

More Infraon IMS cons

"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."

"I need a tool that can deal with all the security solutions that will find security monitoring compliance requirements, so I'll stick to BigFix over Splunk because I'm not that big a fan of Splunk, to be honest."

"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."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."

"What I don't like is that you are not sure all the data is recorded."

"One area that has room for improvement is the pricing; as I mentioned, it can be expensive due to large data volumes."

"In terms of pricing, I have one issue with Splunk Observability Cloud; in a large-scale organization, it does not have features such as cost optimization or budgeting for observability spend."

"The only strain point we've encountered with Splunk Observability Cloud is that the search times can be lengthy for some things. We have a large environment, so that's expected."

More Splunk Observability Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."

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

"I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."

"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."

"Splunk APM is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."

"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."

"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
