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.

Has good filtering and rating features and helps with resource and load management

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Regarding ROI percentage, we estimate a 30 to 35 percent saving on resource costs and around 25 to 30 percent savings on inventory expenses, all credited to utilizing Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) effectively."

"I particularly appreciate two features of Splunk ITSI: data forwarding and the marketplace."

"The service analyzer view and automatic creation of incidents are valuable."

"It's scalable and expands well."

"In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results."

"Splunk ITSI can be easily integrated with the incident management platform. You can automate workflows and certain actions can be taken."

"The search function is the most valuable. It includes regular expressions and wild card searches. We'll write searches using field and case-sensitive services and use all of these search types to write an alert condition. Splunk ITSI has another feature called Glass Table that offers a visual representation."

"Having a structure on how to resolve incidents is the most valuable aspect."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) pros

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

"The deployment is very fast."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."

"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."

"What stood out to us were the metrics and granular details we received."

More Stackify pros

Cons

"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."

"It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."

"The solution should integrate more features in NEAP."

"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."

"Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources."

"Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."

"After upgrading Splunk ITSI from version 4.11 to 4.13, the analyzer stopped finding values for KPS and services."

"Quality-of-life features have room for improvement."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) cons

"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."

"The search feature could be improved."

"I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify.

I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information."

"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."

"When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."

"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."

More Stackify cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would have been good if the product cost was much lower."

"It depends on how big an organization is. If we have a lot of resources, the licensing needs to be upgraded. If we have a small environment, the licensing cost is definitely going to be less."

"I know that it is expensive, but I do not think there is another solution that can do similar things for that price."

"I would prefer that the price be reduced, as it would be easier to implement it and to sell it."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive."

"I wouldn't say there's been an issue with the solution's pricing because we went through the AWS marketplace and negotiated directly with Splunk."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."

"Splunk ITSI is a pay-per-use service that is priced fairly based on the amount of data we use."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) pricing and cost advice

"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
