Featured Reviews

Manjit Chakravarty - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Good performance monitoring, stable, and scalable
The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps. I have worked as an operations engineer, implementation engineer, and architect in India. However, the solution is not readily available to every customer. For example, if a company purchases a license and implements the solution, the BAU operation team may be unfamiliar with the product. The solution provides some free training and videos on its website, but it could improve its training and support for customers who purchase a license. Additionally, I have found it difficult to get support for production-related issues. The solution could improve its response time for these issues.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stratusphere is a highly scalable solution appropriate for small businesses and large organizations."
"I like Stratusphere's login metrics. It lets you drill down to exactly what you want to see."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
"There are a lot of customization options, such as creating your own tables and more. You have the option to make whatever you like and see whatever you want."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"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."
"Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) has one great advantage in that if they have SAP users, they can monitor their SAP applications."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has optimized our solutions and helped us understand the metrics."
"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."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is highly effective in improving digital resilience, as real-time visibility, proactive alerting, fast root cause analysis, distributed tracing, and AI-driven insights enable anomaly detection, which allows us to quickly understand failures, recover faster, maintain system availability, and handle failures in complex distributed environments by seeing how services interact and where breakdowns occur."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"What I appreciate most about Splunk Observability Cloud is the correlation feature, specifically the ease of correlating logs and issues to those traces to see where within the path of the business function is failing."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors. They need to look at the competition and adopt some of those features. Liquidware could make the dashboarding more user-friendly and integrate scripting into the product."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors."
"The time taken by the solution for the data to load should be improved. It was pretty high in some instances. The latency for some stuff to load up was pretty high."
"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"The user interface of Splunk Observability Cloud needs a lot of work."
"The initial setup of Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) was easy. The solution is deployed on-premises."
"I would say that it is quite helpful, but for different kinds of applications, it could be improved because sometimes it might provide a cloud judgment of the root cause analysis."
"There's no standard use case available where you can see the utilization of the number of use cases I have."
"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved in terms of integrations with more technical add-ons, such as Zoom."
"To improve Splunk Observability Cloud, I wish they could develop more in the area of pricing and cost transparency, provide a smoother learning curve, and enhance the log management experience, ensuring that log navigation is not solely focused on metrics and tracing but also has good search performance to understand larger data sets."
"We never had any issues when it comes to the type of use cases we are using it for. We did not need more advancement on it, but I know that, in general, everything can be updated. There are tiny little tweaks that can be made regardless of whether it looks better or has a different flow to it than it does right now, but it works pretty well for what we use it for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
"The license is based on the number of users. I don't know the current prices, but it's around four euros per user monthly. My customers consider it expensive."
"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."
"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 Observability Cloud is expensive."
"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"It is expensive."
