Service health has been monitored and visual insights support proactive telecom operations
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.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable and expands well."
"With Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence), all alerts feed into one tool, providing rich dashboards and visualizations for our team to look at, making it a standout feature."
"I particularly appreciate two features of Splunk ITSI: data forwarding and the marketplace."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its utilization of predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent incidents within a window of twenty to thirty minutes."
"The most valuable feature is event correlation, which ensures that only one ticket is generated per issue, eliminating duplicates and reducing noise from multiple alerts."
"The KPS used to automate the integration policy is the most valuable feature of Splunk ITSI."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
 

Cons

"ITSI currently lacks the capability for automated response, mitigation, and remediation."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"While Splunk has existing add-ons, they are unreliable and do not provide accurate results."
"It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework."
"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."
"Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."
"The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards."
"If they can somehow integrate it with AI in the near future, it will definitely be a game changer."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."
"I know that it is expensive, but I do not think there is another solution that can do similar things for that price."
"I would prefer that the price be reduced, as it would be easier to implement it and to sell it."
"The licensing is based on data usage."
"Splunk ITSI is an expensive tool, and we need to purchase the utility license."
"It is interesting. I am not involved that much lately, but if I recall correctly, you license primarily on the volume of data that you are using in Splunk ITSI, but there is no way Splunk can ever check if that is true, so that is interesting. We are not doing it, but someone can pretend to just use 10%, and it would be super cheap. It is tricky, but it is more tricky for Splunk than for us."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
