Arvind Pant - PeerSpot reviewer
Monitors pipelines with real-time alerts and good documentation
It isn't very easy. It's not easy for everyone. It would be much easier if there could be a simpler version, like a data number version or an SQL version. It's hard to debug if you don't know the syntax. Also, I saw the Slack alerts feature, which is pretty cool, but I cannot customize my messages on the Slack alerts. It would be great if it were possible to tag people in the alerts. At DoorDash, we have hundreds of pipelines, and if something fails, I want to tag specific people so they can start working on the issue immediately.
Sagar Shekhar - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable tool with an easy setup phase that provides ease of use to its users
The most valuable feature of the solution is the way it formats the raw data and helps make the understanding process much easier for the users. When you see the unformatted lots, it looks gibberish, especially for first-time users who may not understand a lot of things, but using Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) can make their job easier.
