User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Zenoss is one of the most economical low cost monitoring/AIOPS tools available in the market. This goes excellent when complete infra is monitoring by itself however if its receiving the events from other monitoring tool then the Event management uses cases will be limited.

Pros	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The flexibility to monitor almost anything. The graphical interface available for servers and database planning helps to make it easier. Easy to integrate other solutions under zenoss. Incentivized AK Ankit Kumar Technical Support Engineer Read full review
Cons	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 Incentivized CM chirag mhatre Software Engineer Read full review	Support for streaming data is on the roadmap must currently be addressed via a third-party app. For some customers, a hybrid on-prem/cloud model may be a better fit than a pure cloud model. The onsite collectors offer some, but not all, of this functionality. Tighter integration with third-party (AppDynamics, etc) and/or built-in app performance tools.

Return on Investment	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.
