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

"The data I got from Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) and the information provided by it is what I like most about the dashboarding and predictive features, and Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) made it easier for me to get data and to work on that, which has positively impacted my organization."
"The most valuable features are the mapping of the entities, which provides a comprehensive analysis, and the service analyzer for thresholding."
"The predictive analysis feature is quite useful, as it helps identify potential issues before they impact services and allows for proactive action."
"The most valuable features are the service analyzer and Glass Tables."
"Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management."
"The most valuable feature of ITSI is the service KPIs. No other tool provides you with the same level of observability and enterprise security or the search and reporting applications."
"From my experience of working with Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) for two years, the most beneficial aspect for me is that it is AI-enabled, providing us with very good analytics."
"Splunk should be used because it provides a better solution in terms of SIEM as well as reporting."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
 

Cons

"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"While Splunk has existing add-ons, they are unreliable and do not provide accurate results."
"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."
"Splunk ITSI should include ease of integration and more templating."
"Currently, Glass tables in ITSI only display metrics related to KPIs."
"The cost of the license could be lower."
"We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"User management has to be improved and more user types need to be added as there is currently only Admin or User."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
