Featured Reviews

Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Taiwo Ige - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Operations Engineer at ABC Supply Co. Inc.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"Absolutely choose it. It is a great company. They are always available."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"After trying many products with little satisfaction, we can finally say that we have found the best product on the market to monitor Citrix environments."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"We haven't really had an issue per se, but there was a time when we had some network devices that were down, and eG showed us pretty quickly that that part of the network was down."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"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 feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"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."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"Splunk's GUI and dashboard capacity are the most valuable features of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive."
"With the metrics collection, I can proactively find incidents and work on the major issues when they happen and predict these issues."
"I manage six tools, but Splunk Observability Cloud is one of my favorites, and I aspire to build my career specializing in it because it has great features, more attention in the market, and is a relatively new tool with promising growth."
 

Cons

"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"I would not buy this product again knowing what I know now. It takes too much time and it is still not where it used to be."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved by having more integration with Splunk Cloud because at the moment they're two separate products. They're making great moves on what they call unified access; tighter integration is always a good thing."
"One thing I recently ran into was that the logs on the server most often get Gzipped after they have been rotated. We found that we were not monitoring some of the things, so we had to go back and pull them in. Right now, it pulls one at a time, untars it, or unzips it, so I cannot look at the entire history. There can be an improvement in that area."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"Overall, I would rate Splunk Observability Cloud a three out of ten."
"The RUM part of Splunk Observability Cloud can be improved significantly."
"Splunk's functionality could be improved by adding database connectors for other platforms like AWS and Azure."
"The user interface of Splunk Observability Cloud needs a lot of work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"The product is very cheap."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"It is not expensive."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"Splunk APM is expensive."
"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"The solution's pricing is costly."
