Service health has been monitored and visual insights support proactive telecom operations
The installation process is the first aspect I dislike about Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). If you do not configure it correctly, you will encounter issues in the search head. Because we use a distributed environment where each component has its own specific roles, installation is critical and requires careful attention. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is built with many applications. It is a compressed file, and when you extract the Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) app, you receive approximately 19 apps. Some applications, add-ons, and packages must be installed on specific components. If you do not configure an application correctly, it will not work. Sometimes we encounter issues during installation because of this complexity. I believe the installation process should be more uniform, meaning it could be deployed across all components to avoid post-installation issues. Sometimes after installation, you receive errors, and users cannot access Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). We have experienced this type of issue due to installation errors. I believe there is currently room for improvement regarding scalability. When we create Glass Tables containing many searches, the Glass Tables sometimes fail due to memory constraints, and we receive error pages. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) should have a lightweight version to address these concerns. I would rate current scalability as medium.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the service analyzer and Glass Tables."
"In my opinion, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is better than QRadar. With the help of Splunk, we can get results."
"The modeling required to setup ITSI has been very helpful in providing us a better understanding and a logical view of our services. The modeling is flexible and can be as granular or high level as our needs dictate."
"With Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence), all alerts feed into one tool, providing rich dashboards and visualizations for our team to look at, making it a standout feature."
"We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this. Splunk ITSI is easy to use and not time-consuming."
"The best features of Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) are the APM, the Application Performance Monitoring, and the diagnostic capabilities; it is state-of-the-art."
"I like ITSI's glass tables. They're easy to navigate by clicking through them. The interface isn't that much different from other products I've used. It provides all the information we need in one place."
"Alerts and episodes are valuable to me."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"VictorOps has decreased the meantime to acknowledge an incident management process, our developers can be on-call faster when we are using this solution, and we can fix our incidents much quicker."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
 

Cons

"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."
"Splunk ITSI could benefit from including more features that other solutions support, such as vulnerability management modules."
"It could be a little easier to use with the thresholding. We've struggled a little bit with thresholding."
"It would be advantageous to enhance the dashboard by incorporating sections for monitoring, service health, and a filter for the KPIs."
"Splunk ITSI should include ease of integration and more templating."
"Currently, Glass tables in ITSI only display metrics related to KPIs."
"Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the modules is a bit high for non-global companies, making it difficult for them to afford Splunk ITSI."
"Its pricing has been changed as per the market. You get a good support service with it as well. They have 24/7 customer support. There is a portal, and if you are having issues, they are available in order to resolve them. So, its pricing isn't too much."
"Pricing was pretty good, and it is possible to just add on the features we want."
"Splunk pricing is high."
"Pricing has some room for improvement."
"The pricing of Splunk is a bit high."
"I wouldn't say there's been an issue with the solution's pricing because we went through the AWS marketplace and negotiated directly with Splunk."
"Splunk ITSI is a premium application and comes with a premium price tag."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
