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.

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

"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."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
"I like Stratusphere's login metrics. It lets you drill down to exactly what you want to see."
"Stratusphere is a highly scalable solution appropriate for small businesses and large organizations."
"The feature of Splunk Observability Cloud that I prefer most is the easy deployment on the cloud."
"With the metrics collection, I can proactively find incidents and work on the major issues when they happen and predict these issues."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"My impression of Splunk Observability Cloud's out-of-the-box dashboards and detectors is that the visualization looks excellent, and the implementation is straightforward."
"Comparing to Cloud, Splunk Cloud, or any other solution, the most valuable feature of Splunk Observability Cloud is that it is entirely based on metrics."
"I have primarily used it to go back into the past and understand why something happened. It provides enough information to do research and figure things out."
"Splunk APM provides a holistic view of the application. Unlike other APMs, Splunk's service map is quite effective."
"The value was visible to the relevant audience as soon as we started the implementation, where it took the people a lot of manual efforts and time to diagnose their systems, they were able to get automated insights as an available feature within Splunk Observability Cloud."
 

Cons

"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
"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 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 pricing would be one area for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have more enhanced features with capabilities to adapt more integrated applications. Improvements in dashboard configuration, customization, and artificial intelligence functionalities are desired."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"There are several performance enhancement areas for Splunk Observability Cloud. For instance, Splunk Observability Cloud's IT service intelligence core part needs improvements as clients request more IT services performance matrices than the current system supports."
"Regarding dashboard customization, while Splunk has many dashboard building options, customers sometimes need to create specific dashboards, particularly for applicative metrics such as Java and process terms. These categories of dashboards would be very helpful for customers."
"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved in terms of integrations with more technical add-ons, such as Zoom."
"The price of this solution is very high and can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."

"The solution's pricing is costly."
"Licensing cost is the biggest argument I get from those divesting from Splunk. There are those within our organization who say we are going to go to other tools since Splunk is too expensive."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"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."
