Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us. Opsgenie's strength lies in its configurable alerting levels, from first responders to escalation managers. It offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration, ensuring timely alerts to the relevant team members. We also use the on-call scheduling feature. It is easy to use. The on-call scheduling feature is user-friendly and easily integrates with our existing systems, streamlining schedule management without added complexity.

The installation process is the first aspect I dislike about Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). If you do not configure it correctly, you will encounter issues in the search head. Because we use a distributed environment where each component has its own specific roles, installation is critical and requires careful attention. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is built with many applications. It is a compressed file, and when you extract the Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) app, you receive approximately 19 apps. Some applications, add-ons, and packages must be installed on specific components. If you do not configure an application correctly, it will not work. Sometimes we encounter issues during installation because of this complexity. I believe the installation process should be more uniform, meaning it could be deployed across all components to avoid post-installation issues. Sometimes after installation, you receive errors, and users cannot access Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). We have experienced this type of issue due to installation errors. I believe there is currently room for improvement regarding scalability. When we create Glass Tables containing many searches, the Glass Tables sometimes fail due to memory constraints, and we receive error pages. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) should have a lightweight version to address these concerns. I would rate current scalability as medium.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"The product is integrated into almost all services, including Grafana, AWS, and others."
"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it."
"If you are using Atlassian products, Opsgenie is the best choice because the features are the same and it is bundled with Jira Service Management."
"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."
"One of the reasons for implementing OpsGenie was to have a completely automated system where there is no need to monitor and call someone if something breaks down."
"We can rely on the product to organize our schedules. We don't have to think about who will be next on-call. The system already gives us the answer. We don't have to waste time organizing how people are going to be covering each of their rotations. There's also an override option. So, it's easy to reschedule or reorganize our schedules when someone goes on vacation or when someone is on sick leave."
"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."
"The best feature I found in Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is the ability to organize raw data we receive in a very particular manner as per the client's requirement, including the device name and message body."
"One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services."
"We are quite pleased with its capabilities."
"It has saved me a lot of money and a lot of time."
"It has saved a lot of time, made things more efficient, made budgeting easy, and made it enjoyable to learn and use as a tool."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its utilization of predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent incidents within a window of twenty to thirty minutes."
"ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use."
"Splunk ITSI offers a valuable visualization tree that allows us to map and analyze dependencies and co-dependency within our environment."
 

Cons

"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."
"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie."
"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."
"Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations."
"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."
"I would like to see a little bit more work in API key management in the Opsgenie UI. It's a bit difficult to manage sometimes. For example, in terms of management, you can either see all the keys or none of the keys. This is something for which I would like to have better granularity so that I could give some people access to some of the keys. It's something that I don't have today if I'm not mistaken."
"It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
"The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"The biggest improvement area is making it open to developers. Right now, it is very closed. It can only be downloaded by people who have a license to and not everyone. If it is open to everybody, more people will use it."
"Microservices is the only area where Splunk ITSI can be improved. When things come from one EC2 instance to another, there's a lack of exposure to microservices, so we can't know what's happening. Apart from that, it's doing pretty well."
"Scalability is a bit challenging, mainly if high loads are encountered. I faced several issues with high thread usage, so I would rate it around seven to eight, particularly considering that scalability is crucial yet can be premium in cost."
"It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."
"Splunk ITSI could benefit from including more features that other solutions support, such as vulnerability management modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."
"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."
"I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."
"I rate Opsgenie eight out of 10 for affordability. Opsgenie is on the cheaper side, and it fits our budget. I estimate the license costs around $400 to 500 annually for 15 users. The price is available on the internet. It's a standard, straightforward price."
"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."
"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."
"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
"It depends on how big an organization is. If we have a lot of resources, the licensing needs to be upgraded. If we have a small environment, the licensing cost is definitely going to be less."
"Pricing has some room for improvement."
"Splunk ITSI is expensive."
"I would prefer that the price be reduced, as it would be easier to implement it and to sell it."
"I wouldn't say there's been an issue with the solution's pricing because we went through the AWS marketplace and negotiated directly with Splunk."
"Splunk is pretty expensive, but it gives you a decent insight into the data. It is easy to learn, and ITSI has a great interface. You can run those queries and pass the data. I"
"I know that it is expensive, but I do not think there is another solution that can do similar things for that price."
"The licensing is based on data usage."
