Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to deliver real-time monitoring and troubleshooting across our many platforms. Real-time streaming analytics gives us instant visualization, alerts, as well as insights, and troubleshooting steps. Being able to see our infrastructure in real-time allows us to troubleshoot possible performance issues cutting down on the turnaround time or any effects on the customers.

Pros

  • Visualization
  • actionable alerts
  • real time

Cons

  • Integrations of APIs
  • personalization
  • better documentation
  • Faster resolution
  • More uptime
  • Scalable
  • Azure Synapse Analytics (Azure SQL Data Warehouse)
SQL is a great tool for smaller quick checks. When trying to monitor several different environments, applications, APIs, several thousand devices, connections, and technology, it just doesn't stand up to what you need. Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has really stood out quickly because of an all-around solution to our entire monitoring system.

We use real-time visibility and alerting as our sole way to keep our infrastructure up and running. Creating dashboards, tickets, and troubleshooting steps all in one system has led to quicker turnaround times. The Out of box integrations such as Google, Azure, AWS, Amazon, or Hadoop makes it easy to catch the entire system.
Our organization uses Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring in many different ways. We can use SSO (single sign-on) integrations, third party, or token authentications. Each department has its own individual way to access needed information from Splunk. I don't set up these types of services so I'm unfamiliar with specific details but having the ability to create and manage teams and users makes it highly safe.
We keep our data for several months which allows us to create trending reports, dashboards, and alerts. This is helpful when creating a baseline and to catch those anomalies you wouldn't otherwise know about. Knowing the baseline of an alert allows you to modify and properly set the priority for future alerts.
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!
