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.

Real-time monitoring and dashboards with cost-saving licensing

SysTrack requires significant improvements. Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display. For instance, a machine's last reboot might be inaccurately shown as seven days ago instead of two days ago. Additionally, real-time data syncing issues lead to delays, requiring this to be addressed, as data might be several hours old.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."

"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."

"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."

"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."

"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."

"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."

"The maintenance of Splunk Observability Cloud is very easy; it's manageable."

"The best feature of this product is the latency and processing of all the telemetry that is being received, which gives full visibility at the right time."

More Splunk Observability Cloud pros

"SysTrack gathers a lot of different metrics on every single device including performance metrics and application-related metrics such as application usage and resource utilization by applications. It collects a wide range of different metrics, and from that perspective, it's a really good tool."

"We are using the SysTrack 'Prevent' module, which shows real-time discrepancies in the infrastructure."

"From a telemetry data standpoint, it's a perfect tool."

"The Resolve part is valuable. It allows the service desk team to perform a couple of fixes or things to mitigate an incident before it's escalated to L2 or L3. It's a cool feature. If you have the sensor activity for Outlook and something has gone wrong, even the service desk can take those steps."

"SysTrack monitors user experience and represents it in the form of a composite score. The scores are placed on a timeline, so you can see how it has gotten better or worse compared to two weeks ago. It gives you a score at the personal, unit, and organizational levels. For example, the score for my entire organization in SysTrack is 77. It's also effective for monitoring user experience and resources in a VDI environment."

"When you search for a machine or a user, the way we get the information is very helpful. The GUI provides us with all the information about that machine that a user is accessing. It tells us about the CPU, memory, etc. The GUI and the details provided are very helpful."

"SysTrack provides unique, real-time data."

"The visualizer feature provides end-to-end analysis on all the machines."

More SysTrack pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."

"The price has room for improvement."

"The user interface of Splunk Observability Cloud needs a lot of work."

"The UI of Splunk Observability Cloud is one of the major issues; it's old and has been there for more than 10 years, acquired by other applications from other companies. It's time to reinvent how the UI is going to work with the AI modules and integrations, making it softer and cleaner."

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

"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."

"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."

"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."

More Splunk Observability Cloud cons

"Lacks flexibility with regard to licensing."

"The solution lacks AI in its analysis module."

"SysTrack requires significant improvements. Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display."

"If I have my system running, and I'm changing my hardware in the VDI environment, I want to choose a date and see the difference before and after the event."

"The interface needs to be improved because it looks ancient. If you have been working in IT for a long time, over 20 years, you might remember products from the start of your career that look almost identical to the way SysTrack looks now. The user interface is not user-friendly. When you first see the solution, it overwhelms you with everything. It's not easy to use, and it's not that intuitive."

"One thing from a layman's standpoint, the report should be very clear."

"When I create a dashboard for a computer-based GPO or user-based GPO, I get details of all the GPOs, but the feature that we found missing is that SysTrack doesn't state how many seconds were required to apply a GPO. It doesn't tell us how many nanoseconds, seconds, or minutes it is taking to process or apply a GPO on a machine. This feature is not there. When there are major issues, if we have the processing time in place, it will help us to identify whether it could be an issue with the domain controller or something else. It would give us a clear understanding to engage other teams for resolving the issue."

"Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display."

More SysTrack cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not in that circle, but we are currently licensing based on our queries. That is working out for us. Previously, it was by volume of data, and now, we can store as much data as we want."

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

"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."

"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."

"Splunk's infrastructure monitoring costs can be high because our billing is based on data volume measured in terabytes, rather than the number of devices being monitored."

"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."

More Splunk Observability Cloud pricing and cost advice

"It is on a per-device basis. It is not on a per-user basis. I was not much engaged in the licensing piece. I was only a part of the conversation about how we are going to scale up or down, but its price, for sure, is competitive."

"If you compare cloud solutions to SysTrack, which is on-premises, then SysTrack is cheaper. If you compare the cost of SysTrack with that of other similar solutions, the cost is similar. For each master server, there's a license. In terms of end user devices, the licenses are sold in multiplications of 10. That's one upfront cost. Once you procure the license, you can use the software for as long as you like. The maintenance is sold on an annual basis. Additional costs are related to hosting and include a SQL server license and Windows server licenses."

"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"It is somewhat expensive."

SysTrack is a digital experience monitoring solution that is designed to empower users to track every aspect of their digital workplaces. Anything and everything that might impact an end user’s experience or an organization’s business productivity can be monitored by administrators using SysTrack. This solution contains many powerful tools that are designed to give administrators the maximum amount of insight into the inner workings of and control over their digital workspaces.

SysTrack Benefits

Some of the benefits that come from using SysTrack include:

Leverage AI to aid in the processing of massive loads of data. SysTrack employs an AI algorithm that enables administrators to easily analyze 10,000 plus data points at any given time. This makes it possible for administrators to utilize and analyze their system’s data effectively without having to hire a large staff to pore over incoming data streams. Staff can now be assigned to areas of greater need, as the processing of data is partially being done by the AI algorithm.

Discover the root causes of various IT issues that arise. The AI that SysTrack uses digs down into the data streams that run through the networks they run on and mine them for information. This mining makes it possible for the AI to learn where issues arise and makes it possible for administrators to take steps to prevent such issues from arising in the future.

Identify areas where you have over- or under-provisioned resources. SysTrack’s AI provides visibility into many different areas of a user’s digital workspace. One of these areas is the provisioning of digital resources. It can make it possible for administrators to find areas where too many resources, or, alternatively, not enough, are being allocated. Administrators can ensure that resources are being appropriately used.

SysTrack Features

When users choose to employ the SysTrack solution, they gain access to many different capabilities. These features include:

Customizable dashboards. Administrators can build dashboards that are most suited to meet all of their needs. SysTrack comes equipped with tools that make it easy for administrators to create the dashboards most suited to their operational needs.

Data visualization tools. SysTrack is designed with built-in tools that allow users to represent data as more than just strings of numbers. These tools enable administrators to transform data into easy-to-understand visual representations. Massive and confusing streams of data can be made more easily accessible for those for whom strings of numbers can be hard to interpret.

Digital workplace experience monitoring tools. SysTrack’s AI algorithm gives administrators the ability to keep track of every aspect of a user’s workplace experience. This gives administrators and IT professionals insights that enable them to prevent any sort of breakdown from occurring in their digital workplace environment. Users can monitor even the most minute aspects of their networks. Nothing will take administrators or IT professionals by surprise when they are using SysTrack’s experience monitoring tools.

Custom report creation tools. SysTrack comes with tools that enable users to create reports that address the areas that most align with their business priorities. These reports make it possible for users to track and keep records of how their workspaces are running.
