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.

Automation and custom reporting impress while support resolution needs improvement
Workspace ONE Intelligence comes under a separate cost if you purchase UEM, making it a useful tool. The current features available in Workspace ONE Intelligence meet all use cases, so there isn't currently a need for improvement. Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days. The main issue is the time to resolve problems, not the time to response, which is adequate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"Splunk Observability Cloud scales with the growing needs of my organization effectively."
"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."
"After moving to Splunk Observability Cloud, it is almost zero downtime."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The maintenance of Splunk Observability Cloud is very easy; it's manageable."
"The tool's stability is great."
"With the metrics collection, I can proactively find incidents and work on the major issues when they happen and predict these issues."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
"Integration is also very easy."
 

Cons

"Splunk Observability Cloud experienced a significant outage recently when it went down for approximately five to six hours."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"Particularly what we're having is disconnection from the cloud console, where we will be working in it and receive a message saying that we've been disconnected and have to wait for it to come up."
"There's a lot of talk about AI-powered analytics and guidance in Splunk Observability Cloud. I didn't get a great sense of how much of it is actually working; there are a lot of AI hallucinations."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"If a customer utilizes third-party tools and wants to forward data from Splunk Observability Cloud, seamless integration would be beneficial."
"I believe that areas of Splunk Observability Cloud that could be improved include the initial setup and instrumentation costs, which take more time for APM."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is costly."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I would rate the price of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"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."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
