Since this product is specific to NetApp there isn't really a comparable product. The closest I can think of is products for completely different vendors that aggregate server/storage data, like HP and Dell. I find NetApp Active IQ to be more useful overall.

Critical to use if you have any NetApp clusters in your environment. Use it to identify problems you might not otherwise know about. Also can be useful to generate upgrade reports in advance so you know about any special cases.

I'm liking the newer products, and I'm looking forward to how they integrate with the overall product when they come together. Just log in and be able to query a large number of systems for similar issues or a unique one. That is a great fit for Splunk Enterprise, looking for a simple case or a simple String or something of that nature across multiple machines. It's a great fit for that to identify issues or particular software, whatever your scenario is, String, to find it across any particular server or group of servers, so that you can update or do a deployment or whatever it is you're looking to do.

  • At times some queries can run slowly if indices are not on a portion of the query you use.
  • Setup time initially can be difficult if your logs aren't stored in common locations or in a common way to write the log.
  • Ability to ingest logs from different locations without having to change code to put logs in a certain place (pro and con).
  • Searches can be a bit more difficult to look through if your log isn't pulled in a manner that is easy to read through splunk.

We are using Splunk extensively in our projects and we have recently upgraded to Splunk version 6.0 which is quite efficient and giving expected results. We keep track of updates and new features Splunk introduces periodically and try to introduce those features in our day to day activities for improvement in our reporting system and other tasks.

Usability
Despite some interface issues, it mostly accomplishes what we need it to accomplish - give us a heads up on problems in our environment and prepare us for upgrades/patches.

Splunk usability could be a little more friendly on correlations and log analysis. not for end users, but for the tech team, sometimes is hard to find good professionals to set up integrations and new dashboards when needed. For the high-level management, it can be overwhelming to read Splunk dashboards.

Splunk maintains a well resourced support system that has been consistent since we purchased the product. They help out in a timely manner and provide expert level information as needed. We typically open cases online and communicate when possible via e-mail and are able to resolve most issues with that method.

The online course was simple clear and described the main capabilities of the solution. There is also an initial module that can be done for free so anyone can familiarize themselves with the functionality of this solution. On the other hand, however, there could be more free online courses. Maybe even with a certificate, this would broaden the group of people who are familiar with the platform while increasing familiarity with the solution itself.

You can see the list of tools above; NetApp Active IQ is a compliment to the tools. Not one monitor will take care of all your needs. I am ok with 3 dashboards for my environment. SolarWinds rotates in NOC mode, NetApp Active IQ is up on its own with all the NetApp's registered, and the Palo Alto Dashboard which monitors for vulnerabilities and risks. The tools work hand in hand in the environment, working both North/South and East/West, letting us know about anomalies, risks, and pending tasks to schedule. I love ALL my tools working together; lets me sleep really well at night!

A lot of products have natively inside their own dashboards and or their own logging repositories. And each one is difficult to learn or they're too complex or they're not verbose in the sense that they're not easy to mine the data that you're looking for. So that could be anything from the native logging that you find in other Cisco products. It's easier to use Splunk to draw the data that you're looking for as opposed to going to the individual's products themselves to get the logs that you're looking for.

Return on Investment
  • For a small but focused operation like ours, NetApp Active IQ acts like an additional full-time team member in our environment. This has been a game-changer, as my team doesn't have the time to constantly monitor every piece of our infrastructure. By using NetApp Active IQ, we are able to deploy reliable, redundant solutions and it keeps us proactively informed each and every day.
  • NetApp Active IQ's predictive analytics have been instrumental in identifying potential problems and misconfigurations before they can cause an outage. In a 911 environment where service availability is non-negotiable, this is an immeasurable ROI.
  • NetApp Active IQ automates many of the routine monitoring and health checks that would otherwise consume a significant amount of my team's time. This has allowed us to shift our focus from reactive troubleshooting to strategic planning and project execution, aligning with our long-term vision.
  • The insights provided by NetApp Active IQ, such as capacity utilization and performance limits, have helped us make smarter decisions about technology refreshes and resource allocation, ensuring we get the best "bang for our buck" from our infrastructure.
  • Ultimately, the partnership with NetApp and the use of NetApp Active IQ has provided the stability and insight we demand, enabling my team to focus on our core mission of providing critical emergency services to our community.
