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

"We were in the need of a fast-to-deploy solution for the external monitoring of our servers, and Copperegg gave us all the needed features plus the internal and custom metrics."

"If you need to have more insight about your data center, Copperegg is the way to go."

"The tool's stability is great."

"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."

"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provided our customers with visibility into their overall infrastructure."

"Splunk Observability Cloud is extremely reliable and an extremely trusted source, and it has definitely gained public faith and public trust."

"Splunk's dashboards are great."

Cons

"Yes, some days the service was down and we did not find an accurate response from the company."

"There were none, but there were issues with performing upgrades."

"In terms of pricing, I have one issue with Splunk Observability Cloud; in a large-scale organization, it does not have features such as cost optimization or budgeting for observability spend."

"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."

"The integrations need to be improved for Splunk Observability Cloud."

"The only strain point we've encountered with Splunk Observability Cloud is that the search times can be lengthy for some things. We have a large environment, so that's expected."

"Regarding the negative side, I think the licensing can be much better because it is based upon host units and there is additional licensing for the number of traces that I can bring in."

"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."

"There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience."

"In terms of additional features I would want to see in future releases, since Cisco acquired Splunk, more Cisco integration could be beneficial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."

"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."

"Splunk APM is expensive."

"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."

"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."

"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."

"The pricing is based on several factors, including the scale of deployment."

"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
