Likelihood to Recommend Splunk IT Essentials scales really well and is quite suitable for large enterprise environments which is where I use it. It can easily handle the classification and ingest of metrics/log data from thousands of devices. It also allows for easy grouping of these devices so that users can search just for Windows devices, or just for Linux machines. Provides a great overview of enterprise health while allowing deeper dives into the device level of data.

However, other dedicated server monitoring apps do better with monitoring the individual VMs. Where it stands out is its reporting functionality, which allows you to forecast growth and keep track of how you are using your resources. It is also great for companies without a big monitoring budget, as there is a pretty functional free version.

Read full review Cons Currently need to special request this app on Splunk Cloud Not compatible with older versions of Splunk Read full review The licensing is tricky to understand. You can have an enterprise BR license or a Veeam ONE license, and the split modules read from only one module where the license is actually loaded into it. Documentation could be a little better. It's not exactly pretty to look at. Themes and tweaks are pretty limited. Read full review Support Rating We rarely if ever call support, but overall Veeam is very responsive, quick to get a hold of, and knowledgeable in there help. Some companies get big like Veeam and their support drops off, but we haven't seen that with Veeam (but again, their products seem really solid and trouble free so we rarely need help).
Read full review Alternatives Considered If you've used any Splunk product then you know they have a good reputation for creating smart and user-friendly tools. Splunk IT Essentials is no different and I have had nothing but positive experiences with it. It was a straightforward integration with our enterprise environment. And it can also be leverage, as we did, when moving to ITSI as well.

Prometheus because
Prometheus is must more flexibile and customizable.
AppDynamics and Veeam ONE are similar in that they excel with certain but different aspects. Veeam ONE with backups and
AppDynamics with application performance.
Read full review Return on Investment Huge time saver in troubleshooting issues in the environment Alerts allow for much quicker response time to certain events that require attention Able to leverage this app when transitioning to ITSI Read full review The most positive impact has been a centralized platform to manage all our vCenter Tags, which orchestrate all our BCDR solutions with Veeam. Response time for analyzing system performance when there are issues has greatly increased due to the simplicity of the software, plus we have been able to allow access to application developers and managers to view and asses their servers when they feel there are issues, without the need to contact the infrastructure team members.
