Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring
We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to keep track of hundreds and hundreds of device endpoints. With the Universal Forwarder deployed to these endpoints, my team gains visibility into each of these devices that we have never had in the past. We can also customize the exact data we receive from each device or group of devices. The monitoring helps to detect the exact instance a device has a problem, and in some cases automatically remediate the issue.
Pros
- Endpoint Monitoring
- Script Deployment
- Data Aggregation
Cons
- Needs a way to display interactive dashboards to outside users
- Embedded reports need to be simplified
- Dashboard customization could be enhanced
- Reduced infrastructure downtime
- Detecting problems in the environment more quickly
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is the only product of its kind that I've used and I've been very happy with it.

Real-time visibility provided by Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is a game-changer. Previously, remediation would generally be considered 'reactionary'. Precious time would be spent simply tracking down an issue. But with real-time visibility and alerts, we know the second that something goes wrong and are able to quickly take corrective action.
We have a small team so this is not a feature we have used in depth.
The tool works incredibly well for only alerting on actual actionable items. The various algorithms do a good job of trending the environment's behavior and figuring out what is an actual event. Alert fatigue is certainly a real thing so being able to remove erroneous alerts is an absolute life saver.
