Centralized observability has accelerated incident resolution and currently improves release monitoring
Overall, Edge Delta is a strong observability platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is dashboard and reporting customization. The platform provides useful operational insights, but having more flexibility to create highly tailored views for different teams would be beneficial. Another area is onboarding and usability. Observability platforms can be complex, especially for new users, so additional guided workflows, recommendations, and learning resources could help teams become productive more quickly. Deeper integration visibility would be useful as well. Many organizations use multiple monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so having even better cross-platform correlation and troubleshooting workflows would add value. On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows. More granular cost optimization insights and usage visibility would help organizations better understand how data consumption impacts cost and where optimizations can be made. The platform is strong in its core capabilities. The improvements I would prioritize would be deeper ecosystem integrations, enhanced cost visibility, and more intelligent automation to help teams act on observability data more efficiently.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit has been the reduction in troubleshooting and incident investigation time, as root-cause analysis has become roughly thirty to forty percent faster, allowing engineers to spend less time searching through logs and more time resolving issues."
"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."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"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."
"We utilize the APM and auto-detectors, as the core metrics and core alerts are available for us, which are the features of Splunk Observability Cloud that I appreciate the most."
 

Cons

"On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"If a customer utilizes third-party tools and wants to forward data from Splunk Observability Cloud, seamless integration would be beneficial."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run."
"Unfortunately, with our current setup, we just have to implement Log Observer in a couple of instances so that we can have that integration with Splunk Observability Cloud."
"In future updates, I would like to see more predefined monitoring query solutions, which could be more effective."
"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."
"Regarding dashboard customization, while Splunk has many dashboard building options, customers sometimes need to create specific dashboards, particularly for applicative metrics such as Java and process terms. These categories of dashboards would be very helpful for customers."
"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."
