Read full review Monitor hundreds of IT services by continuously tracking thousands of KPIs in a scalable way. Quickly identify problem areas by a combination of default visualizations and ability to create custom dashboards. Extremely configurable to effectively monitor nearly any KPI imaginable from Splunk. Read full review Cons Tool is complicated for Alert creation AlertSite GUI need improvement. As compared to Datadog, it needs improvement in GUI While using AlertSite, many times we faced false alerting, they need to take a look at it to improve performance.

Read full review We have replaced our monitoring platform with Splunk & ITSI, and with the success, it's seen at our organization thus far we would be hard-pressed to pivot to another tool. Frankly, our business partners and application teams love Splunk & ITSI.

Read full review Support Rating I've been unable to contact support after several attempts.
Read full review During POC, pre-planning, and implementation, we have had interactions with numerous folks at Splunk. Everyone from sales & engineering to markets analysts to specific IT component SMEs, and a small professional services engagement to get started. They have all been exceptionally helpful and go above and beyond the call of duty. They actively reach out to ensure success is being realized and find ways to help proactively, instead of having to simply open support cases with the vendor.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We moved all of our services to
Site24x7 after several years with AlertSite. We looked at
Uptrends and
Pingdom to name a few whilst evaluating options.
Pingdom lacks functionality and
Uptrends we found to have quite a steep learning curve. AlertSites platform and in particular the Deja-Click recorder is a standout tool against the other platforms. Sadly the upscaling costs of multi-location transactions can quickly add up.

Read full review Splunk has raised itself as a platform not just as a tool unlike other products in the market. If I talk about
Moogsoft it also has similar capabilities but Splunk ITSI has more visibility and its GUI is making a different impact on the users. ServiceNow and Splunk are equally capable products however Splunk seems to have more tech-savvy people tools than ServiceNow.
Read full review Return on Investment A negative thing is Monitoring locations would have issues and cause false-positive alerts and due to that monitoring team's repetitive work has increased. A positive thing that I have noticed so far is the fact that the AlertSite customers support team is trying to build relationships and go the extra mile to make sure we can overcome any occurring issues and they are quick to respond and provide sufficient guidance for implementing efficiently, and fix products issues. Read full review Splunk ITSI has reduced the number of alerts exposed to our Network Operations Center by 100x while increasing the context around outages. Splunk ITSI has increased the accuracy of our incident detection by leveraging the Event Analytics system to weigh the behavior of the many characteristics of each component together instead of independently. Splunk ITSI has reduced our incident MTTR (mean time to restore) by detecting issues faster, presenting them more clearly, and surfacing the salient details about the underlying issue.
