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

"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."
"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize dashboards based on my queries or any other customization I may need."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"We utilize the APM and auto-detectors, as the core metrics and core alerts are available for us, which are the features of Splunk Observability Cloud that I appreciate the most."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"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."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has helped improve our operational performance and company's resilience, which was their initial offering."
"The tool's stability is great."
 

Cons

"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
"Technical support is good but could be improved, particularly concerning the time taken for ticket resolution."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"The pricing would be one area for improvement."
"Support from Splunk is not very helpful because Splunk doesn't have a dedicated APM; they only have one APM engineer in Korea."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"The security could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the alerting system, which is complicated and has less documentation available. We sometimes encountered issues in setting up alerts."
"Primarily, the logs in Splunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Splunk APM can require more effort to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is costly."

"This is an expensive solution."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
