Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

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

"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"It has been beneficial for our IT infrastructure."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"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 product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"Dashboards help the application support teams to have a quick look at how their systems are running. It helps other teams as well."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."
"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."
"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"The user interface of Splunk Observability Cloud needs a lot of work."
"In future updates, I would like to see more predefined monitoring query solutions, which could be more effective."
"I would rate Splunk technical support at six out of ten. When we have a problem and need to create a case, the response isn't quick."
"If it is a new deployment and you have a medium client with about 2,000 users or computers or servers, it will take about six months just to install and configure."
"There are always areas for potential improvement to enhance its functionality and user experience."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"The integrations need to be improved for Splunk Observability Cloud."
"Integrating some third-party add-ons can be challenging, involving many implementation and configuration steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"It is expensive."
"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."
"The product is a bit expensive considering the competition but the company may negotiate the price."
"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."
"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
