Neha Lall - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Analytics Lead at MSE Technology
Granular behavioral tracking has transformed how we understand user journeys and optimize funnels
Snowplow could be improved in a couple of areas. The Snowplow team is readily available and proactive, always jumping on calls to make changes, especially how we track consent and non-consent data for the EU market. One area of improvement could be its vast canvas, which might feel overwhelming and confusing to people who are less technical or are not sure how to best structure their data. Although Snowplow is powerful, getting value from this granular event data does require strong SQL skills and knowledge of the underlying data model. Therefore, making the data more accessible to less technical users could enhance intuitive self-service exploration, funnel visualization, and easier debugging of tracking issues, allowing product teams to gain insights without relying heavily on analysts. Snowplow could also automate most processes and implement smarter monitoring alerts for fallback. Better documentation and easier debugging when event tracking or schemas change would help, given that managing event definitions centrally can be a hassle when there is a breaking change. Having automated systems to inform users about changes in events or properties would make things smoother across teams.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.
