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.

The installation process is the first aspect I dislike about Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). If you do not configure it correctly, you will encounter issues in the search head. Because we use a distributed environment where each component has its own specific roles, installation is critical and requires careful attention. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is built with many applications. It is a compressed file, and when you extract the Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) app, you receive approximately 19 apps. Some applications, add-ons, and packages must be installed on specific components. If you do not configure an application correctly, it will not work. Sometimes we encounter issues during installation because of this complexity. I believe the installation process should be more uniform, meaning it could be deployed across all components to avoid post-installation issues. Sometimes after installation, you receive errors, and users cannot access Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). We have experienced this type of issue due to installation errors. I believe there is currently room for improvement regarding scalability. When we create Glass Tables containing many searches, the Glass Tables sometimes fail due to memory constraints, and we receive error pages. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) should have a lightweight version to address these concerns. I would rate current scalability as medium.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."
"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."
"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."
"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"One of the reasons for implementing OpsGenie was to have a completely automated system where there is no need to monitor and call someone if something breaks down."
"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."
"The solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."
"The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times."
"Splunk ITSI offers a valuable visualization tree that allows us to map and analyze dependencies and co-dependency within our environment."
"ITSI's KPI and correlation search aspects are powerful, and the service creation suits the project well. It allows for good segregation of the monitoring solution, and up-to-date quick-time monitoring. We're notified quickly when something goes wrong."
"The best feature I found in Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is the ability to organize raw data we receive in a very particular manner as per the client's requirement, including the device name and message body."
"In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results."
"ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use."
"Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) positively impacts my organization by predicting many failures beforehand, helping us save money and preventing business disruptions by allowing us to address issues early."
"The health scores and glass tables are extremely valuable and useful."
 

Cons

"The user interface could 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."
"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."
"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."
"It should have a lot of plugins. It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now. It should have AWS, Azure, and Google cloud integrations. It should also provide automation, that is, it should open somewhere, like orchestration. Something like the orchestration that ServiceNow is doing. That would be great. Orchestration is the main thing. If OpsGenie comes with stack down feature, not completely but some part of it, and orchestration is there, that would be beneficial."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."
"The solution should integrate more features in NEAP."
"One of the main downsides is the complexity of configuration and maintenance, especially when dealing with large-scale environments."
"They should make it easier to use. Many people are new to it. It is hard and has a steep learning curve."
"The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards."
"While integrating services and KPIs in ITSI is straightforward, I found it challenging to analyze them with the service analyzers; specifically, using the deep dive feature to pinpoint the exact source and time of an issue proved difficult."
"We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions."
"The end-to-end visibility in Splunk ITSI is limited and has room for improvement."
"The cost of the license could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 solution's prices are exorbitant."
"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."
"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."
"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."
"Splunk ITSI is a pay-per-use service that is priced fairly based on the amount of data we use."
"The cost of the modules is a bit high for non-global companies, making it difficult for them to afford Splunk ITSI."
"I wouldn't say there's been an issue with the solution's pricing because we went through the AWS marketplace and negotiated directly with Splunk."
"Pricing was pretty good, and it is possible to just add on the features we want."
"The licensing is based on data usage."
"Splunk is pretty expensive, but it gives you a decent insight into the data. It is easy to learn, and ITSI has a great interface. You can run those queries and pass the data. I"
"Splunk ITSI is expensive."
"It would have been good if the product cost was much lower."
