Splunk Observability Cloud Reviews

We are IT consultants and our primary use case for this solution is for analyzing machine data.

The feature I find most valuable is the data integration.

I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface, which puts something in your design. If we able to customize more parts of the user interface, it would be great. I also think the scalability should be improved.

The solution is stable and I haven't seen any box glitches or crashes.

We have a hundred users. I really do not know how scalable the solution is. I couldn't find any submission for a flat fee and for expanding the installation in my last project. So perhaps this is also something that can be improved.

I am happy with the support, how they respond and help to solve issues.

The initial setup is straightforward and you can do it yourself.

My experience with this solution in analyzing machine data is really good. The interface could be simplified and I would like to have more clustering. On a scale of one to ten, I rate this solution a seven. 

Splunk sends security alerts. It's being used on two levels. One for the analysis of the data by the data scientists. Two, for the engineers to troubleshoot if there are any issues happening, like any security bugs, or anything that needs to be addressed and never mediated across. 

In terms of the application performance security, application performance tooling has been a key factor for me using Splunk. We are also looking into options, like other third parties or even open-source tools that help the capturing the application performance, fine-tuning, which leads to the security aspect.

We haven't faced any problems yet. It's working as expected. We are using the enterprise-grade, strong products and we're just paying a lot for it right now.

People intend to go for automation. We are following the works process and we are inculcating the engineers to ensure everything is automated. Whatever needs to be mitigated, has to be followed up on ticketing tools, this tool would come in. It handles the issues going on and what needs to be remediated in this single tool.

We need multiple tools in order to accomplish what we need. It's kind of a medium across multiple products. It would be better if we have a dedicated tool, that takes care of the entire work process, including automation as well.

They do not have all the features that I expect right now.

I have been using Splunk for three years. 

We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs. It depends on the use cases and so far I haven't seen any as of now.

It is scalable.

They're good. They're quite good at providing the service for technical engineers as well.

I would say that the setup is pretty straightforward because they have their own documentation that you can follow. It takes an associate's capability in order to accomplish it. They have good documentation and dedicated support to take care of any issues that come forward.

As a newbie, I wouldn't prefer Splunk. The reason being that it's a completely enterprise-grade solution. As a startup, you don't implement Splunk for the first time. We'd put an open-source product. With us, we have many of the Italian products, which proves to be a good open-source solution. In the end, people intend to go for enterprise support for the vulnerability patching, report generation, and enterprise support. People go for licensing based on that. I wouldn't refer any newbies to go for a weak enterprise-grade solution as they barge into any technology.

I would rate Splunk a seven out of ten.
