Service health has been monitored and visual insights support proactive telecom operations
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.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the episode review, glass tables, and correlation search features very useful."
"I particularly like the preview feature because it provides a prompt experience for impact analysis."
"The most valuable features are the service analyzer and Glass Tables."
"What I like the most is the event correlations. It's a file structure, and ITSI has a correlation layer where you can normalize the events from different sources. Once these events are normalized, you set up rules to aggregate them into different or the same attributes. After the rules are defined, you can automate the process to solve the issue automatically."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management."
"We have a lot of teams using Splunk and they would be blind without it."
"It has saved a lot of time, made things more efficient, made budgeting easy, and made it enjoyable to learn and use as a tool."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
 

Cons

"Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement."
"Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) can be improved because there are some events that get missed in indexing, especially on the stats and AC stats."
"Splunk ITSI could benefit from including more features that other solutions support, such as vulnerability management modules."
"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."
"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."
"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."
"Occasionally, we have faced some slowness, which we reported to Splunk, and those issues were promptly resolved."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
