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

"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 data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."

"What I appreciate most about Splunk Observability Cloud is the correlation feature, specifically the ease of correlating logs and issues to those traces to see where within the path of the business function is failing."

"The company has many systems that the customer is paying to access. Splunk APM issued via AppDynamics helps find problems in the feed. It reduces the risk of supervising all the devices. I can supervise the flow and simulate the conditions of the repository across several dashboards to show what's happening at the moment."

"The alerts are the most valuable feature."

"I have seen a return on investment with Splunk Observability Cloud, with current metrics showing over 75% efficiency, and it has really helped our workflow, saved time, reduced costs, and also saved employees' time."

"Splunk Observability Cloud has helped me reduce my mean time to detect, and we have worked on around 80 applications last year for one particular client, and since the MTTR has improved drastically, they have given us 245 applications, which is around 150 applications added to the previous number of applications, which is definitely a performance improvement."

"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."

"The solution overall is very valuable for me."

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."

"There is not a lot of support for the tool's on-premises version, especially since everything is on the cloud."

"Splunk isn't an ideal tool for application performance management due to the extensive setup required."

"The dashboards are used mainly to visualize information about the infrastructure, but it isn't easy to construct or use the dashboards. While we tried to resolve the issue by calling support, it would be easier if they had an AI co-pilot to identify the problem and help you solve it."

"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."

"The pricing would be one area for improvement."

"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."

"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."

"There's no standard use case available where you can see the utilization of the number of use cases I have."
