Associate Cloud Engineer at Ebizoncloud LLC

Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database

It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Collaborates performance metrics with log data to pinpoint the exact cause of issues and offers error detection

Splunk APM is a robust tool with many capabilities. There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience. For Splunk APM, there could be simplified navigation, like streamlining the user interface to make navigation more intuitive for our users, especially those new to APM, which can enhance usability. We can provide more customization options for dashboards and visualizations to help users tailor the platform to their specific needs. There could be more integration capabilities with a wider range of third-party tools and platforms would also be beneficial. By focusing on these areas, Splunk APM can enhance its value proposition, improve user satisfaction, and better meet the evolving needs of organizations monitoring their application performance.

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."

"I would rate Splunk technical support at six out of ten. When we have a problem and need to create a case, the response isn't quick."

"Splunk's functionality could be improved by adding database connectors for other platforms like AWS and Azure."

"The deployment can be quite complex."

"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."

"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."

"The price has room for improvement."

"In future updates, I would like to see more predefined monitoring query solutions, which could be more effective."

"In Splunk Observability Cloud, I notice room for improvement in synthetic monitoring. It does not provide output based on server names."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."

"I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is costly."

"Splunk's infrastructure monitoring costs can be high because our billing is based on data volume measured in terabytes, rather than the number of devices being monitored."

"It is expensive."

"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."

"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."

"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
