Alerting improves incident response across teams and enables faster awareness before customer impact

Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved in terms of integrations with more technical add-ons, such as Zoom. Although they have one with Zoom, it's not available in the cloud, so having that feature would be beneficial. Essentially, Splunk should continue expanding to create easier ways to ingest logs from different products. The out-of-the-box customizable dashboards in Splunk Observability Cloud are very effective in showcasing IT performance to business leaders. However, there are aspects that could be improved, such as linking dashboards to one another. While IT leaders may not drill down, it's crucial to create levels of dashboards for technical users to find root causes, making it effective for stakeholders.

A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product

The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."

"Splunk Observability Cloud has helped improve my operational performance; previously, we used Elastic for similar purposes, and this has allowed us much more visibility into what we're working on with usable dashboards and metrics, which has been awesome."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provided our customers with visibility into their overall infrastructure."

"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."

"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."

"Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) has one great advantage in that if they have SAP users, they can monitor their SAP applications."

"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."

"What I appreciate most about Splunk Observability Cloud is the correlation feature, specifically the ease of correlating logs and issues to those traces to see where within the path of the business function is failing."

More Splunk Observability Cloud pros

"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."

"The solution is stable."

"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."

"The solution's machine learning deployment is hard and should be made user-friendly."

"I've only experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues when it isn't configured correctly."

"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."

"There is not a lot of support for the tool's on-premises version, especially since everything is on the cloud."

"To improve Splunk Observability Cloud, we need more applications to be included in the observability so that more applications can have agents to monitor them and bring that information to the cloud."

"The out-of-the-box customizable dashboards in Splunk Observability Cloud are very effective in showcasing IT performance to business leaders. However, there are aspects that could be improved, such as linking dashboards to one another."

"I would rate the price of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
