Verified User Anonymous Chose Splunk Observability Cloud To be honest, Datadog is very similar to Splunk and LogScale to a lesser degree, but it is just as good if you don't need too complex observability.

Brennan Fuller Systems Engineer Chose Splunk Observability Cloud Splunk is superior in many ways to these solutions when I'm comes to ingesting, storing, manipulating, and using data, but dynatraces automatic agents do make it much easier to use out of the box.

Likelihood to Recommend	Although there are many products in the market that provides very simple and easy fault and performance monitoring metrics in notification format, reports and emails etc However NetBrain is a specialized tool when it comes to network issues troubleshooting for various kind of scenarios such as multicasting issues in a site can be detected live and bottle neck can be highlighted by a simple click of troubleshooting button. Incentivized Nikhil Kumar Sharma Associate Consultant Read full review	The query language is relatively easy and flexible when looking into an application's problems. These queries can then be used for alerts, reports, and dashboards. I believe Splunk is a platform that can help a system grow into its proactive application management, using incidents to add insights as needed without trying to work out every scenario in advance.

Pros	Network discovery Config comparation Runbooks Incentivized CT Carlos Tavares Sr. Network Operation Engineer Read full review	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	After every release one or the other things stop working API call to create INC's in SNOW,Remedy Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	An indicator for errors on the navigations pane so that we don't have to go through each tab. As we go more and more cloud maybe you guys can implement a pay-as-you-use strategy so that small companies using it not frequently can also afford it. That's it can't think of any and it wont let me skip to next question. Thanks Incentivized CM chirag mhatre Software Engineer Read full review

Usability	This is a easly tool that i've worked. Incentivized CT Carlos Tavares Sr. Network Operation Engineer Read full review	When there is an issue, it’s a win if one can easily identify the root cause. To do the same, it should allow the user to dig deep with multiple data points and compare the data and identify the anomaly. In this use case, it’s good to drive from Splunk 011y.

Alternatives Considered	The others were cumbersome, slow and there is a huge learning curve for the installation, configuration and just daily monitoring. NetBrain was the easiest of all to setup then let it run and build our network and map it out. Once it was complete, we immediately identified several circuit issues that we were unaware of within our network. With the maps and information gained, we were able to present to [management] and prove a case that we needed larger circuits in several areas. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We initially chose Splunk Observability Cloud because it promised full-stack visibility and tighter integration. The other tools didn't offer this as part of the core package. Their analytics and real-time dashboards looked strong during the demo but it turned out to a lot heavier and more complex than expected. If I had to decide again, I’d probably go with something more streamlined and easier to manage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Network automation is up to date. Quicker failure discovery and resolving due to the path discovery. Less time spent on documentation. Much more details in the documentation. Incentivized Christoph Neulinger Senior Network Specialist Read full review	Significantly reduced the MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery), which in turn has improved the end-user experience tremendously. Meets compliance requirements of security policies, audit, regulation, and forensics. Helps us to track/manage the resource usage on our cloud instances which has a direct implication on the recurring cost. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
