I'm implementing and implementing log Observability solutions based on Splunk for some of our customers.
  • Monitor infrastructures to identify problems or anomalies.
  • Business insights.
  • Security monitoring.
  • Business Insights (this is a feature not usually implemented).
  • Infrastructure monitoring.
  • Service chain monitoring.
  • Security monitoring.
We used it many times and for many customers for infrastructure monitoring. For some of them, we implemented a monitoring cockpit for business insights and specialized cockpits for managers and executives.
  • The possibility to have in one console information from etherogenous systems
  • Turn key features to monitor infrastructures and services through the Service chain monitoring
  • The customers can have views specialized for different levels (analysts, operators, managers, executives, etc...)
  • They can have one console to have information from many heterogeneous data sources.
Splunk requires less work for data in gestion and parsing. Splunk has more efficient data display features.

Yes
Data ingestion and normalization. Service Chains definition. Use Cases Analysis. Existing Correlation Searches analysis and activation. Correlation Searches customization or design and development.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
Mainly ITSI or other implementations map the existing organizations and try to adapt to them.
  • First, implementation wasn't so easy because it required a deep knowledge of the features, then they were easier.
Follow a training before starting.
Splunk support is very quick and efficient. Pre-sale specialists are very skilled and available.
We are skilled in our activities, but sometimes we use it for a certification requested by some customers. And they were very professional.
No
Our first implementation of ITSI was supported by Splunk Professional Services: they were ready to analyze the situation, and they shared their competencies with us.
It gives access to data features for every level of users: from managers and executives to Analysts, each one with the correct level of observation and analysis.
  • Service chain.
  • Drilldown features from aggregated data to analytic views.
  • It isn't so easy to customize, it requires a deep knowledge.
