Unified observability has improved real-time governance and now drives data-led decisions
Log Observer Connect is embedded here, but we are facing some delays in centralized log collection and analysis, which can be further fastened. We are collecting all the data metrics and decision-making insights, but all these data-driven decisions coming from different applications are not connected somewhere. A consolidated form or correlation of these insights is not happening between each other due to which we feel we are missing something significant. Some generalized feedback includes that predictive alerts or alarms which can be integrated with AI-driven alarms and alerting features should be established so that there is AI-driven intelligence and anomaly detection happening with a complete systematic process in service delivery. Application dependencies are huge, and business and operational dashboards should be improved. Right now there are very interactive custom dashboards, and every now and then, the personalization of enhancements keeps happening. KPI monitoring, executive reporting, and analytics have definitely been introduced to a great extent. There are few things in cloud-native monitoring, such as integration with AWS and Azure, where we sometimes do face lags. Those things can definitely be improved upon. I have used Datadog and Dynatrace before using Splunk Observability Cloud. Datadog was definitely recommended by most of our peers because of its very strong comprehensive observability and very strong and unique dashboard systems. Dynatrace was also very good because they have offered a lot of AI-driven analysis methods and processes, which was helping our organization a lot. Since our organization has a very strong IT ecosystem for agriculture, very different kinds of customized things are required.

A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Cons

"I haven't seen any return on investment yet, but I do definitely expect to see ROI soon, once we bring in everything and reduce workload."
"There's a lot of talk about AI-powered analytics and guidance in Splunk Observability Cloud. I didn't get a great sense of how much of it is actually working; there are a lot of AI hallucinations."
"I believe that areas of Splunk Observability Cloud that could be improved include the initial setup and instrumentation costs, which take more time for APM."
"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."
"Log Observer Connect is embedded here, but we are facing some delays in centralized log collection and analysis, which can be further fastened."
"The user interface of Splunk Observability Cloud needs a lot of work."
"What I don't like is that you are not sure all the data is recorded."
"There is room for improvement in customer support due to delays and standard feedback responses."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."

"Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution."
"Splunk offers a 14-day free trial and after that, we have to pay but the cost is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is costly."
