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.

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

"It's a simple and humble tool."
"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."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"It's starting to help reduce our Mean Time to Detect (MTDD) because the visibility we gain is unprecedented, allowing us insight into applications that we've never had before."
"The product's deployment phase is good and very easy because it is done with OpenTelemetry for most of the parts."
"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."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"After moving to Splunk Observability Cloud, it is almost zero downtime."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"With the metrics collection, I can proactively find incidents and work on the major issues when they happen and predict these issues."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
 

Cons

"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"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."
"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."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"In terms of additional features I would want to see in future releases, since Cisco acquired Splunk, more Cisco integration could be beneficial."
"If a customer utilizes third-party tools and wants to forward data from Splunk Observability Cloud, seamless integration would be beneficial."
"There's no standard use case available where you can see the utilization of the number of use cases I have."
"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."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"A wide variety of logging makes log onboarding difficult."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"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's pricing is competitive. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten. The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"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."
"The price of Splunk APM is less than some of its competitors."
"I would rate the price of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"It appears to be expensive compared to competitors."
"Splunk Observability Cloud is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Splunk has been fairly expensive, but it has been predictable."
