Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Observability Cloud

I use Splunk Observability Cloud to monitor mainly my Cloud Infrastructure, FrontEnd and Backend applications. In our Organization, through the help of Splunk Observability Cloud multiple teams can easily troubleshoot their applications and infrastructures through the help of theri metrics and logs which helps us to reduce the MTTD and MTTR.
It solves so many problems like End to End Visibility, Real time correlations to reduce MTTD etc.

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.

Cons

  • It can improve its pricing models as per its competitors as I have it is a bit costly as compare to others.
  • It can improve on its OTEL based integration part as currently to integrate OTel based application we need a good knowledge of OTel SDKs.
  • Reduction in MTTD and MTTR, it helps us alot by reducting time to detect the exact issue in production environment which gives the positive impact to our business. Because of this we have improved our uptime and Service reliability.
  • It improves the observability across all business teams by a centralized observability tool, which gives us insights for all of our applications and infrastructures.
  • We can easily identify the exact error and when & where it occurs, everything we can easily identify
It has a centralized view for all the Metrics, Traces, and Logs, which helps us to easily correlate the things in a better way. It has a wide range of prebuilt integration including all major clouds as well as OTel. The feature which I likes most in this, i.e detectors which is used for alerting in Splunk Observability Cloud. Through the help of detector we can create more complex fine tuned alerts.Kuberentes navigator and its service map also gives us clear visinility on K8s resources it includes all types of resources like Node, pod, etc.
I selected Splunk Observability Cloud because it focused so much on OTEL standards which will help us in future as OTEL is covering most of the observability standards. And also it has the best Kubernetes observability as I already explained it has several predefined dashboards for K8s. It also provides correlation accrooss Metrics, Traces and Logs whcih helps us to reduce the MTTD and MTTR

Do you think Splunk Observability Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did implementation of Splunk Observability Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Splunk Observability Cloud again?

Yes

I hav eused it in different scenarios som eof them are The K8s environment monitoring. If you have 100+ microservices running on K8s cluster and you want to monitor each microservice calls trace and wants to trac eit completely then Splunk Observability Cloud is the best choice.

Real time incident detection and Root cause analysis . due to this feature you can easily reduce this mttd and mttr.
