Modernization has accelerated cloud migration and now delivers resilient, flexible microservices
I consider the best features offered by Azure Container Apps to be power, event-based scaling, and ease of management. The power of event-based scaling and the ease of management have benefited my team and my projects by allowing the applications to be very flexible since they can scale based on process queue sizes or HTTP requests and for many other reasons such as entries in a Redis cache. Azure Container Apps has positively impacted my organization by making the migration of these applications easier, speeding up these migration processes and achieving greater resilience of the applications in the cloud. I have measured that impact in terms of improvements in resilience, which are very important because we move to having microservices deployed in several availability zones, with autoscaling, and as a result, they are very flexible and very reliable.

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.

Pros

"Azure Container Apps has positively impacted my organization by making the migration of these applications easier, speeding up these migration processes and achieving greater resilience of the applications in the cloud."
"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."
"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 Observability Cloud has impacted my organization positively by allowing management access to the logs, dashboards, and metrics they need to operate a high functioning team and product."
"In terms of the application performance security, application performance tooling has been a key factor for me using Splunk."
"After implementing observability, I could see end-to-end transaction tracing and quickly identify where issues arose, which reduced troubleshooting time and improved overall application stability and availability for our customers and systems."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The solution monitors attacks or unauthorized access to the information we want to protect."
"It has been beneficial for our IT infrastructure."
 

Cons

"Azure Container Apps could be improved if the Azure RM Terraform provider could have full implementation of all its capabilities since right now it does not."
"Regarding how Splunk Observability Cloud can be improved, there are few opportunities for improvement, but perhaps one area of improvement is greater integration with partners and clearer ability to quickly gather the information I need to supercharge my AI workloads using 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."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"The feedback is that Splunk Observability Cloud is forcing me to modify my logs that I am ingesting in Splunk Observability Cloud in a specific format."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
