Pros
"The product's initial setup is easy."

More Instana Infrastructure Monitoring Pros →

"Great monitoring of network devices.""The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage.""The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment.""We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."

Cons
"Instana Infrastructure Monitoring needs to support monitoring of the .NET framework since it is one of the areas where the solution currently has shortcomings."

More Instana Infrastructure Monitoring Cons →

"The price has room for improvement.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that.""The deployment can be quite complex.""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.""I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
