Oracle Observability and Management vs. Splunk Observability Cloud

If you are using the Oracle database or services in Oracle Cloud, Observability and Management is a must-use service. Many components of O&M service are free, and the others are not that expensive either

Good for below cases 1. There is a front end and need to correlate data with front end data 2. multiple microservices and need to check the health of each system 3. correlate data from various sources 4. Application performance is a key to be captured 5. application performance is a key metric.

• Ability to aggregate a lot of data sets in a single place, allowing for better visualization of key information. Ability to customize the data views and export to PDF/Excel is great. Love the simplicity of creating dashboards and the intuitiveness, as well as the fast turn-around of projects. Customization of the views is essential for us because every user wants to different view because they consume data differently. This makes our users consume their data effectively.
• Great self-service analytics solution with an excellent presentation layer. Easy to generate reports, integrate and customize. The interface is very clear and minimalist which is refreshing. It enables you to pull and analyze data faster than many of the other platforms. The ability to drill down is phenomenal...there are layers to everything and it's amazing to realize how deep Oracle can let you go.
• Ability to analyze large data sets and the ability to create intuitive, easy to understand reports. The best feature is its user-friendly and intuitive GUI which I use daily to pull my data from the Oracle database. Oracle Cloud Analytics doesn't have many steps to complete the setup on the cloud and in no time dashboards and reports are made available to users that want to them.
• Ability to integrate and pull data from other Oracle applications -Mobile data reporting capabilities to always stay in-the-know related to data and critical applications reporting. Ability to build a portal on top of the Analytics Cloud to create a custom, unique experience for our clients.

• The first one is its Kubernetes container monitoring.
• I really like this features because as we know how much K8s is vast and to manually monitor each part of the Kubernetes it takes so much time but Splunk Observability Cloud makes it easier. And even once we integrate K8s with Splunk Observability Cloud it gives us some prebuilt dashboards which gives holistic view of our Cluster and its nodes, pods, etc.
• The dashbaord feature of Splunk Observability Cloud, it gives us full flexibility to customize our dashboard with a wide range of predefined chart types.
• Now it also supports OTEL, which is a plus point for observability. As now everyone is moving towards Otel and in current market there are only few tools who supports OTEL based integrations, Splunk Observability Cloud is one out of them.

• Oracle Application Performance Monitoring has a steep learning curve for new users.
• The user interface can be improved to make it more friendly.

• An indicator for errors on the navigations pane so that we don't have to go through each tab.
• As we go more and more cloud maybe you guys can implement a pay-as-you-use strategy so that small companies using it not frequently can also afford it.
• That's it can't think of any and it wont let me skip to next question. Thanks

Overall a great tool to have in your toolbox, It is very intuitive and our entire staff uses the tool. It is easy to use and cost is very reasonable. Splunk also has excellent support team and very easy to work with. Every time we had a challenge, support team was able to help us with the end result.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is an enterprise solution and can't be compared apple-to-apple with a data visualization tool like Tableau. This is not the same use at all. Before selecting Oracle Analytics Cloud, it is most important to consider the data you are looking to collect and how you plan to visualize it. Other tools like Tableau and microstrategy feel smoother to work with, have better UI's and are quicker when processing data. It is also important to think through how you will use the data across your organizations. Can have a steep learning curve but once you are well trained on this tool, the possibilities are endless. The tool is highly customizable and will generate what you design it to generate. If you are having issues with reports and analytics, it is most likely due to data quality issues. Oracle Analytics Cloud also benefits by adding Essbase in it, to perform multi-dimensional analytics.

To be honest, Datadog is very similar to Splunk and LogScale to a lesser degree, but it is just as good if you don't need too complex observability. Grafana is still growing and might reach the same level soon.

• Significantly reduced the MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery), which in turn has improved the end-user experience tremendously.
• Meets compliance requirements of security policies, audit, regulation, and forensics.
• Helps us to track/manage the resource usage on our cloud instances which has a direct implication on the recurring cost.
