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.

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

"The product's deployment phase is good and very easy because it is done with OpenTelemetry for most of the parts."
"It's beneficial for monitoring performance and infrastructure, especially when deploying applications with multiple versions with Git."
"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."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"Previously with other applications, analyzing and controlling our API latency required almost five to six hours a day of resources, but with Splunk Observability Cloud, I only need to allocate one to two hours maximum per day to accomplish the same tasks."
"Initially, before Splunk, we had a long time to resolve issues; now, with Splunk Observability Cloud, we will be able to solve them quickly and know exactly where the issue is."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The features of Splunk Observability Cloud that I prefer the most are its all-encompassing licensing model, which is comparatively better than others in the market."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"I love the historical data and the fact that it doesn't average it when it saves it."
"Network visibility is fantastic."
"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."
 

Cons

"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface, which puts something in your design."
"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved with better integration with AppDynamics, as we know that's coming, however, it is an issue we've had between the OpenTelemetry and the AppDynamics collector."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"Integrating some third-party add-ons can be challenging, involving many implementation and configuration steps."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is costly."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"Splunk APM is expensive."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."
"Licensing cost is the biggest argument I get from those divesting from Splunk. There are those within our organization who say we are going to go to other tools since Splunk is too expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
