Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 2, 2025

Opsgenie and Splunk Cloud Platform compete in the incident management and data monitoring categories. Opsgenie has the upper hand in alerting and incident management, while Splunk excels in data analysis and monitoring.

Features: Opsgenie offers diverse notification methods, including email, SMS, and app alerts, providing flexibility in receiving incident notifications. It boasts robust ticket management and a comprehensive alerting system. Splunk Cloud Platform excels in log aggregation, advanced search capabilities, and real-time monitoring, making it a strong choice for managing vast data across complex infrastructures.

Room for Improvement: Opsgenie needs better cloud integration with platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and should improve orchestration features for enhanced automation. The user interface requires improvements, particularly in user management and API error handling. Splunk Cloud Platform could improve cost transparency, streamline integration, and simplify its user interface. Enhancements in real-time operational monitoring and reports are also necessary.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Opsgenie is praised for its simple deployment across on-premises, private, and public clouds. However, its technical support can vary depending on the user plan. Splunk Cloud Platform supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments with extensive deployment options, though users report delays in support depending on the licensing tier.

Pricing and ROI: Opsgenie's affordable pricing and transparent cost structure provide a good return on investment, especially for integrated incident management solutions. Splunk Cloud Platform is perceived as expensive due to its data ingest pricing model but provides comprehensive features that justify the investment for larger enterprises. Both platforms offer positive ROI, with Opsgenie focusing on cost savings and Splunk in resource optimization.

Offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration

Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us. Opsgenie's strength lies in its configurable alerting levels, from first responders to escalation managers. It offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration, ensuring timely alerts to the relevant team members. We also use the on-call scheduling feature. It is easy to use. The on-call scheduling feature is user-friendly and easily integrates with our existing systems, streamlining schedule management without added complexity.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees

Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes

Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."

"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."

"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

"That clarity, visibility, scheduling, and the management of on-call schedules, as well as tracking SLA breaches and workload, are key reasons to utilize Opsgenie."

"We can rely on the product to organize our schedules. We don't have to think about who will be next on-call. The system already gives us the answer. We don't have to waste time organizing how people are going to be covering each of their rotations. There's also an override option. So, it's easy to reschedule or reorganize our schedules when someone goes on vacation or when someone is on sick leave."

"Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us."

"Taking into account that Opsgenie "saved" many devices in our environment from getting overheated, which would have caused a major outage in our HQ offices, I believe the monthly subscription cost was way lower than the return."

"The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."

More Opsgenie pros

"he cloud performance is good."

"There is definitely the ease of the infrastructure administration. It frees up a lot of time."

"The best features of Splunk Cloud Platform include its powerful analytics and intuitive user interface, and I particularly appreciate how it simplifies complex data operations."

"The cloud is very fast."

"After Splunk Cloud Platform was introduced to us, we saved a considerable amount of time, and our team size went from more than 300 people to less than 30 people over five years because fewer employees are needed and we spend little effort since logs track everything and help us in our day-to-day tasks."

"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."

"Splunk has sped up our response and reduced the time we spend manually monitoring any logs for ticketing tools or servers. It saves us around two hours daily."

"Not having to maintain any infrastructure is valuable. That frees up a lot of time as well."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"When I needed to add the fourth guy to the on-call rotation, I had trouble finding the option in Opsgenie where I can add the new user. It took me some time to figure out because it it was very small. You have a pencil icon that you need to click, but it was so small and in a place that wasn't so obvious, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. I couldn't find the icon myself and my manager had to show me where it is. Opsgenie needs to be more user-friendly, particularly when it comes to finding the "Add New Users" option in the on-call rotation feature. Other than that, the solution was very easy to use, and you can see both the open and closed alerts."

"We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version."

"When I needed to add the fourth guy to the on-call rotation, I had trouble finding the option in Opsgenie where I can add the new user."

"I would like to see a little bit more work in API key management in the Opsgenie UI. It's a bit difficult to manage sometimes. For example, in terms of management, you can either see all the keys or none of the keys. This is something for which I would like to have better granularity so that I could give some people access to some of the keys. It's something that I don't have today if I'm not mistaken."

"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."

"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."

"It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now."

"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."

More Opsgenie cons

"Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted."

"Regarding pricing for Splunk Cloud Platform, it is not cheap. It's cost-efficient if you are using it properly."

"I think the tool has some scalability issues, especially when used in larger organizations."

"The documentation available could be improved as there is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."

"There is something that they say will be improved, and I am still waiting for it."

"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."

"I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help."

"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."

"In the company I'm working for, currently, we are using the standard edition of Opsgenie. We're paying around $3,000 a month. It's a bit expensive compared to the other tools we use for different purposes. We find it a bit expensive because although Opsgenie is a complete tool for monitoring, it does not provide us with everything."

"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."

"I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."

"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."

"I rate Opsgenie eight out of 10 for affordability. Opsgenie is on the cheaper side, and it fits our budget. I estimate the license costs around $400 to 500 annually for 15 users. The price is available on the internet. It's a standard, straightforward price."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."

"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented it."

"We were involved in the renewal process, and our organization does reviews of all our partnerships that we have every two to three years to ensure they are meeting our needs, there isn't a better solution out there, and we won't save money by going somewhere else."

"It is not that expensive."

"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."

"The certifications are costly."

"Splunk is a bit more expensive than some solutions, but customers can derive more value from it due to the features it has."

"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
