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.

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

Pros

"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"As a consulting company we implement management solutions to a large variety of companies and after working with OpMon our project time was reduced and we can offer a different solution to each customer."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is effective for detecting anomalies and preventing system outages."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive."
"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."
"The most valuable features include user time tracking and the ability to analyze application load times."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"With the metrics collection, I can proactively find incidents and work on the major issues when they happen and predict these issues."
 

Cons

"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
"I've only experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues when it isn't configured correctly."
"The UI of Splunk Observability Cloud is one of the major issues; it's old and has been there for more than 10 years, acquired by other applications from other companies. It's time to reinvent how the UI is going to work with the AI modules and integrations, making it softer and cleaner."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"I would rate Splunk technical support at six out of ten. When we have a problem and need to create a case, the response isn't quick."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
