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."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) has one great advantage in that if they have SAP users, they can monitor their SAP applications."
"The maintenance of Splunk Observability Cloud is very easy; it's manageable."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"I have primarily used it to go back into the past and understand why something happened. It provides enough information to do research and figure things out."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
 

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."
"Enhancements can be made to Splunk Observability Cloud dashboard, particularly the widgets that can help display ROI metrics and streamline setup for detection tuning."
"In terms of additional features I would want to see in future releases, since Cisco acquired Splunk, more Cisco integration could be beneficial."
"I would like to see a very detailed tutorial about it and how any newcomer can be able to use it."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
"There are several performance enhancement areas for Splunk Observability Cloud. For instance, Splunk Observability Cloud's IT service intelligence core part needs improvements as clients request more IT services performance matrices than the current system supports."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"They can get more integration with a few more products. They can also update some of the dashboards that are in there now."
