Splunk is great for ingesting, storing and searching logs. They do a great job of constantly innovating and releasing new features. Our customer service representatives are communicative and helpful. The education credits help our team get educated and prepared for new problems. Splunk's training videos are concise and effective.

This product is well suited for monitoring your infrastructure in a large way. I would say that this tool could be used in any size environment. I think this is a very well-rounded tool that could use some improvements but overall has many use cases and is stable enough to where you can use this well in production environments.

We used to use a lot of SQL logs and manual monitoring of our infrastructure. This takes time as well as being proactive to stay ahead of an outage no matter the severity. SQL logs are great but do take time to run. Manual checking is good for smaller networks or occasionally monitoring situations. As an organization, we were mostly reactive as it was nearly impossible to stay ahead of all negative situations. Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has allowed us to become proactive, and freed us from manually looking for a fix or what the impact would be. It's all laid out for you and allows you to reach out to all necessary departments quickly. No more guessing!

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is well suited for any complicated environment where you have apps and servers across multiple clouds and platforms and products.

If you have a data centre where all your apps and servers are in one single network, you could probably get away with older solutions. But for any modern, complex, hybrid-cloud microservices environment, Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is a must-have.

One of our best experiences has been Database monitoring as a derived service of APM. The ability to see the impact of poor queries without having to depend on Database-specific monitors is excellent. Another experience was the ability to determine the status of on-prem hosts via detectors and detector health-check. We use the health check to determine the host was unavailable in a 10-minute window which enabled our teams to take action and reduce the impact on the overall service.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is really well suited for an enterprise that needs to monitor a large number of endpoints or transactions. Splunk excels at ingesting, storing, and aggregating data. This enables a company to trend its data over time, analyze it, and find trends and patterns in the data. It may not be ideal in a smaller environment with few endpoints or a minimal number of transactions. It can bring quite a bit of value but this needs to be weighed against infrastructure, license, and usage costs.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is the ultimate choice for infrastructure monitoring and can be easily mastered by the operations team. It even has built-in integration options support for various clouds and database or analytics services so it is the ideal choice for large enterprises to improvise observability and track key infra metrics. Newly they have introduced cloud SaaS service as well with easier pricing options to get started or evaluation.

Error detection, outage detection, throughput monitoring, percentage monitoring are the scenarios that we’re currently using [Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] for and they are well suited. I believe it is less appropriate when a precise number is required for monitoring. Because sometimes discrepancies occur because of metric collectors. For example, 100 metric is reported at time t, but on the charts, it’s split as 60 for time t and 40 for t1.

If you have a lot of traffic/users and you would like to monitor for some issues or bottleneck that might arise due to it [Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] can really help you with.
If you find yourself repeating some math over and over just to extract interesting information from your product the try it out.

For monitoring cloud resources, such as instances, containers, pods, CPU utilization and the like, Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring [(formerly SignalFx)] is very well suited. For instantaneous notifications for events that require intervention, it is also pretty well suited. I'd say it is less appropriate for logging though, whereby historical data is used to trace bugs and issues in code.

SignalFX is well suited for environments where cost is a concern and the ability to decide what metrics are important to control that cost. Organizations with bandwidth to onboard a new system are also at an advantage. Organizations where cost is not a concern, may find better solutions elsewhere.
