"I find the episode review, glass tables, and correlation search features very useful.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""Splunk Episodes are valuable because it correlates and aggregates all the information, and you do not have one million events to look at and triage, so it is quite convenient.""The solution is easy to scale.""We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this.

Cons
"The cardinality is pretty low.""Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want.""Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand.""They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved.""The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved.""There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics.""The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future.""I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."

More Splunk APM Cons →

"It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework.""Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users.""We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions.""Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement.""It could be a little easier to use with the thresholding. We've struggled a little bit with thresholding.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution.""It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."
