Unified observability has improved real-time governance and now drives data-led decisions
Log Observer Connect is embedded here, but we are facing some delays in centralized log collection and analysis, which can be further fastened. We are collecting all the data metrics and decision-making insights, but all these data-driven decisions coming from different applications are not connected somewhere. A consolidated form or correlation of these insights is not happening between each other due to which we feel we are missing something significant. Some generalized feedback includes that predictive alerts or alarms which can be integrated with AI-driven alarms and alerting features should be established so that there is AI-driven intelligence and anomaly detection happening with a complete systematic process in service delivery. Application dependencies are huge, and business and operational dashboards should be improved. Right now there are very interactive custom dashboards, and every now and then, the personalization of enhancements keeps happening. KPI monitoring, executive reporting, and analytics have definitely been introduced to a great extent. There are few things in cloud-native monitoring, such as integration with AWS and Azure, where we sometimes do face lags. Those things can definitely be improved upon. I have used Datadog and Dynatrace before using Splunk Observability Cloud. Datadog was definitely recommended by most of our peers because of its very strong comprehensive observability and very strong and unique dashboard systems. Dynatrace was also very good because they have offered a lot of AI-driven analysis methods and processes, which was helping our organization a lot. Since our organization has a very strong IT ecosystem for agriculture, very different kinds of customized things are required.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend Splunk Observability Cloud to other organizations because we are currently saving our engineers time by 20 to 30 percent, and for infrastructure alerting, we can use it to ensure that servers will not go down."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"A problem that previously took four to five hours is now completed automatically through Splunk Observability Cloud and DevOps SRE agent integration in just a couple of minutes."
"Splunk Observability Cloud has helped to improve my operational performance because it is useful for my company, helping to solve issues, reduce the manpower, and reduce the man-time to solve it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize dashboards based on my queries or any other customization I may need."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is highly effective in improving digital resilience, as real-time visibility, proactive alerting, fast root cause analysis, distributed tracing, and AI-driven insights enable anomaly detection, which allows us to quickly understand failures, recover faster, maintain system availability, and handle failures in complex distributed environments by seeing how services interact and where breakdowns occur."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"Statseeker is very fast and fantastic in terms of granularity of network visibility, letting us get down to per-minute statistics that are really useful for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting traffic hop by hop."
"I like this product and would recommend it to a colleague at another company."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"Customer service is excellent, with a brilliant support team that is always responsive and always positive."
 

Cons

"Unified visibility is not there."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"Enhancements can be made to Splunk Observability Cloud dashboard, particularly the widgets that can help display ROI metrics and streamline setup for detection tuning."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"At this moment, Splunk Observability Cloud has not helped improve my operational performance or my company's resilience. I have not yet seen a return on investment from Splunk Observability Cloud."
"I need a tool that can deal with all the security solutions that will find security monitoring compliance requirements, so I'll stick to BigFix over Splunk because I'm not that big a fan of Splunk, to be honest."
"They can get more integration with a few more products. They can also update some of the dashboards that are in there now."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"However, the bells and whistles that other vendors have will need to be provided or enhanced in Statseeker in order for it to compete."
"I would like to see NetFlow improved, with better reporting capabilities that are similar to Scrutinizer."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
