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 solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."

"If you are using Atlassian products, Opsgenie is the best choice because the features are the same and it is bundled with Jira Service Management."

"One of the features my team found valuable in Opsgenie is the alert. There's also the option to install an app on your phone, so even if you don't have any mobile reception, but you're still connected to WiFi, you still get the alerts via the app, not just via phone call or SMS. The combination of both options was very useful because sometimes you have data and you don't have coverage by mobile, or vice versa. To have both options in terms of receiving alerts was very useful. Another valuable feature of Opsgenie is the on-call rotation with alerts. I belonged to a small team of three, then the team expanded into four members where everyone was on a weekly on-call basis, with each team member having a week of being on-call. At first, it was a bi-weekly on-call rotation, then it became once every three weeks, and after that, it was once every four weeks, so the on-call rotation with an alert feature was useful. My previous company had two separate environments, on the cloud and on-premises. My team was in charge of the on-premise environment, so there was a queue for my team with everything in Opsgenie, then the DevOps team had its queue on a group of infrastructure related to the cloud. Each team had its own devices organized in a group that was only managed per team. The on-call rotation was also separated between groups. Opsgenie is a very convenient solution for both teams in my previous company."

"I am a Jira admin. The best feature for me is that I do not need to write different code when I integrate with multiple applications. OpsGenie made it easier for me. All I need to do is create a field and give a value. I need to set the parameters and give a value. I can write only one script so that it directly interacts with my Jira and feeds all the data."

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

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."

More Opsgenie pros

"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."

"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."

"Splunk Cloud Platform has greatly improved my daily operations through enhanced integration with third-party tools."

"We use Splunk Cloud primarily as a troubleshooting tool, so the most valuable features are the analysis and visualization."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's ingest and visualization features help with data reporting, and the platform's alerting mechanism is valuable, as there is software that makes alarms in case of attacks."

"What I appreciate about Splunk Cloud Platform is that observability is strong, and we can have real-time data with fast time to value."

"We became pretty complete with our reporting using Splunk for all the log and event capabilities."

"As a certified Splunk Architect, I consider Splunk the best solution when comparing it with competitors including Elastic, Sumo Logic, Datadog, and Microsoft."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie."

"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 solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."

"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."

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

"The handshake with the monitoring tools can also be improved. When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly. The handshake issues were there."

"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

"Using basic natural language in English instead of writing a regex expression will be helpful."

"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."

"We have not seen benefits right away because we have just started to migrate to Splunk Cloud Platform."

"Sometimes there are several steps involved in finding the right data, adjusting time ranges and fields, so it would be nice if the workflows felt more connected and required fewer clicks."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's user interface is quite simple and needs to be updated; it feels as if I am using a platform from two thousand fifteen."

"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."

"We're interested in learning more about the new AI features, especially the natural language to SPL conversion."

"The expensive nature of the product is an area of concern that needs to be considered for improvement."

More Splunk Cloud Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"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."

"I do not personally deal with that side, but from discussions, I know that it is one of the more expensive tools. I do not have anything to compare it with."

"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."

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

"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."

"It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
