Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 28, 2025

Splunk Observability Cloud and Infraon IMS compete in the monitoring and observability category. Based on the comparisons, Splunk appears to have an advantage due to its advanced real-time analysis and comprehensive cloud integration features, which enhance user adaptability and problem-solving.

Features: Splunk Observability Cloud is recognized for robust log searching, data integration, and custom dashboards. It provides end-to-end visibility and real-time problem-solving capabilities. Infraon IMS offers real-time network monitoring dashboards with extensive customization options, including role-based dashboards for different user levels.

Room for Improvement: Splunk could improve integration with various platforms, ensure better endpoint protection, and streamline its user interface.

Maharajan S

VSO at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

Provides data accuracy for availability and policy harmonization

The reporting capabilities are a challenge and could be improved. We have been trying to connect to it from our help desk ticketing system, because the ticketing system manages asset tracking, which has been a bit challenging for us. Otherwise, they give some reports that are okay, but we do not use them much because we work in the dashboard. This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure. I can take the report and show it to them from a compliance point of view. However, the moment we go to a SaaS model, I don't have control of the data and where the data is stored. I don't receive any complaints-based reports from the SaaS model.

Dhananjay Dileep

Senior Software Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

Unified monitoring has improved end-to-end visibility and reduced detection time across apps

When we have too many detectors in place for one particular app, such as when I have created 50+ detectors through my account, the entire page becomes a bit loaded when creating the 51st detector, feeling heavy and taking time to load. Additionally, it throws random errors; for example, when we try to save one detector, it might throw some random error which is not even related, with something else being wrong, not that particular error, but the underlying root cause might be different. Sometimes the error is just "some problem occurred," and we are not able to point out what the real cause is. This mainly happens when we have too many detectors or too many alerts in place rather than a standard number. One more thing is in the alert rules; if we have a main general alert, and instead of creating a new detector, we are adding a new rule under one detector, when the number of rules also increases, such as when we have 10 or 15 rules under one generic detector, that again creates the same kind of problem, taking some time to save that particular newly added rule, and it might not save at times, just keeps on spinning. Those are the two drawbacks which I spotted recently; other than that, everything looks perfect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their discovery is very quick and they have a CSV file upload mechanism that allows you to onboard five thousand devices a day."

"It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."

"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."

"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."

"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."

"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"Splunk APM helps us to find errors immediately and resolve them."

"The most beneficial aspect of Splunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."

"The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."

"The maintenance of Splunk Observability Cloud is very easy; it's manageable."

More Splunk Observability Cloud pros

Cons

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."

"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."

"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."

"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."

"Integrating some third-party add-ons can be challenging, involving many implementation and configuration steps."

"The only strain point we've encountered with Splunk Observability Cloud is that the search times can be lengthy for some things."

"Splunk Observability Cloud could be improved in terms of integrations with more technical add-ons, such as Zoom."

"The initial setup of Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) was easy. The solution is deployed on-premises."

"The feedback is that Splunk Observability Cloud is forcing me to modify my logs that I am ingesting in Splunk Observability Cloud in a specific format."

"Particularly what we're having is disconnection from the cloud console, where we will be working in it and receive a message saying that we've been disconnected and have to wait for it to come up."

"They need more EDR functionalities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."

"The solution's pricing is costly."

"It is expensive."

"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."

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