Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring reduces our mean time to resolve. We are more proactive than reactive. I would be very confident to say that there is about a 25% reduction in time. We get things way quicker than when we were just doing it reactively.
It has the ability to identify and solve problems in real time. It saves time.
There is no one feature that stands out more than others. We use a little bit of everything. When we started using it, we did not exactly know it. It was new and fresh, so we just started gathering everything. We did not end up doing anything different. All of the features that we are using have had an effect on the monitoring that we are doing. Everything is very effective.
We never had any issues when it comes to the type of use cases we are using it for. We did not need more advancement on it, but I know that, in general, everything can be updated. There are tiny little tweaks that can be made regardless of whether it looks better or has a different flow to it than it does right now, but it works pretty well for what we use it for.
I have been using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring for two to three years.
It is stable.
It is scalable. As we continue to grow and expand, the stability and the scalability are there.
They have been very helpful whenever we have had any issues. Only one or two times they did not know. That does happen. We are all humans, but that is the best that you can get.
Positive
I got onto the team when we started using it, so I am not sure what we were using before.
I would rate Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring a ten out of ten.
We have a lot of applications that we monitor. We have a lot of hardware that runs on VMware. We monitor all of that as well.
Dashboards have been helpful because people can go and look for themselves how their systems are running. The requests for us to go look at something have gone down because people can go and do it themselves.
It is important for us that Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has end-to-end visibility. Developers and those types of teams can look at and troubleshoot any kind of issues quickly.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has helped reduce our mean time to resolve, but I do not know how much. We just help as needed, but for the most part, it is just the teams going in there and looking at things themselves.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has helped improve our organization’s business resilience.
Different teams can see a lot of different aspects of what is going on. They can see network traffic. They can see applications, and they can see hardware peaks and performances. They can see everything they need.
We could see the value of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring within a couple of weeks of implementing it.
Dashboards help the application support teams to have a quick look at how their systems are running. It helps other teams as well.
They can get more integration with a few more products.
They can also update some of the dashboards that are in there now.
It is pretty good in terms of the ability to predict, identify, and solve problems in real-time, but there is always room for improvement.
I am in a new role. I have been there for two months. That is as long as I have been using it.
It is very stable. It is good.
Its scalability is great.
It is very good. I would rate them a nine out of ten. They are usually pretty helpful and knowledgeable.
Positive
We have it on-prem, and we also have a cloud instance. Our cloud provider is AWS. We do not monitor multiple cloud environments.
Deploying it was pretty straightforward. We just had to make sure that we were getting the logs right and setting the apps right. That was pretty much it.
We have seen an ROI in terms of manhours and less work for everyone.
I have always used Splunk.
I would rate Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring a ten out of ten. It is great. It is much better than a lot of other products, so it is definitely up there.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring provides end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environments. It is very important for us.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has helped reduce our mean time to resolve.
It is digitalized. It has been beneficial for our IT infrastructure.
The security could be better.
I have been using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring for 11 years.
I usually use the community site. I find that helpful.
We did not use any other solution previously.
We set it up ourselves.
I would rate Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring a ten out of ten.
We are monitoring our servers and their health. We are monitoring their functionality and supporting the Kubernetes platform.
Our team supports multiple different projects. They all have their own clusters and ways of operating, but we just use one Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring system.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has helped improve our organization’s business resilience.
I have primarily used it to go back into the past and understand why something happened. It provides enough information to do research and figure things out.
One thing I recently ran into was that the logs on the server most often get Gzipped after they have been rotated. We found that we were not monitoring some of the things, so we had to go back and pull them in. Right now, it pulls one at a time, untars it, or unzips it, so I cannot look at the entire history. There can be an improvement in that area.
I have been using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring for four years.
It is stable.
About a year ago, we added another 600 servers and scaled up. We are getting more in the next year or later this year. It works smoothly.
They are good. I have a ticket open now. I told them to go ahead and close it because we thought it was a hardware issue, but they said that they would keep the case open till the hardware replacement to see if the issue goes away. That was pretty nice.
All of our hardware is HPE-based. We rely mostly on OneView, but it does not give us the service aggregation and other things that Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is giving us.
One of the gentlemen on other teams came to ours. He is very knowledgeable about Splunk, so he helped with the implementation.
All of our servers are RHEL-based.
A different organization group within our organization had Splunk, and they liked it, so we just went with Splunk.
I would rate Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring a ten out of ten.
I have the logs of my applications, and they're usually a bit volatile. The log switch doesn't stay there on the application for a long time, so Splunk can require that. It can take 15 days for the logs to be available to do some kind of research. I'm using Splunk to ingest application logs, create dashboards, and set up alerts.
The biggest benefit of Splunk is that we can retain logs and correlate the data. Telemetry data has a huge impact because it's much easier to see everything.
Splunk has significantly reduced our mean resolution time. The workflow at my company involves application microservices applications running on the cloud. These logs are highly volatile, so they're only retained for three to five minutes, and we had to reproduce an issue to trace why it failed. That meant we had to do everything again to capture the log at the moment. Now, we have the data to analyze one or two hours.
Splunk's dashboards are great. The solution provides end-to-end visibility across my environment. Visualizing large amounts of data is easier because we can correlate the data from any target source.
The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected.
I have used Splunk APM for three years now.
We have instances for production and development. I've never seen the production instance go down. Our development instance has gone down, but that's expected.
I used tools like Elasticsearch, which is similar to Splunk. I've also used other observability tools like Grafana and Dynatrace, but they have different features.
I rate Splunk APM 10 out of 10.
We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring because it is a durable solution for our environment.
