Featured Reviews

Syed Mohammad Arshad - PeerSpot reviewer
The price is competitive and it's easy to use and configure
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. Opsgenie fits on top of the base application, which is Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management is an investigation. Previously, we had Jira Service Management and PagerDuty running on top of that. Now, Opsgenie is bundled as a part of JSM. However, when we switched to the cloud version, many of the features have become a bit complicated compared to the Data Center version I had used for years. It might be due to an architectural change or some other reason: Also, it would be nice if Opsgenie had the ability to import rosters from other sources like you can do in PagerDuty.
UzairKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers financial benefits and operational efficiency with impactful data analytics capabilities
My advice for those looking to implement Splunk Enterprise Platform is to know the product well and have hands-on workshops or create a lab to gain complete knowledge before proceeding. Regarding maintenance, it does not require much as it is on-premises. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."
"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."
"The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."
"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."
"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to explain the values and provide insights into transactions."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"Splunk Enterprise is a wireless enterprise application that can be customized based on training."
"The solution is very good for monitoring compared to other tools."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The best thing about Splunk is you can collect all the data you want, and you can play with the data and do what you want."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."
"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"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."
"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."
"Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I've noticed areas for improvement, particularly in support. Developers typically interact with support personnel who may lack technical expertise when raising support tickets. This can result in delays as initial interactions involve sharing documents before escalation to higher support levels."
"The support offered by Splunk Enterprise Platform has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"While Splunk Enterprise Platform is a good product, it is expensive. Additionally, it is complex for inexperienced cybersecurity engineers and requires experienced personnel to handle it effectively."
"Splunk can be used primarily to port log files, allowing for easy and quick management of large amounts of logs. However, this can also be a drawback due to the configuration, parsing, and dashboard creation limitations. Communication is stream-based, which means you need to do a lot of pre-emptive setup to get a nice export."
"Areas for improvement include enhancing dashboards, reports, alerts, and the monitoring console."
"There is room for improvement in introducing more AI capabilities onto Splunk Enterprise Platform."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
"There should be continuous customer engagement and training programs on the new features and capabilities introduced by the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."
"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."
"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."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"Product pricing is typically annual, and discounts are often available for longer-term commitments."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing around seven or eight out of ten."
