Additional Details

Scale plan offers additional database servers at a cost of $100/month for each additional billable server. In general, each 1 Postgres server that is running (i.e. one parent postgres process) is considered 1 billable server. In the case of cloud providers these are often called "instances". Depending on the subscription plan you are on, you may have a special price for replica servers (also called "readers", or "followers"), which is implemented by multiplying the replica count with a multiplier (e.g. 0.5), with the total rounded up. Annual plans are available and come at a discount compared to the monthly plans Contact us for custom requirements

Likelihood to Recommend	pganalyze works great with the postgresql and gives a good alternatives to the existing producsts available out there like Slick or basic as microsoft SQL server manaagement studio. We have used in our projects of data migration and integration of enterprise data warehouseing and reporting . And it has provides us satisfactory results. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	User and role setup Performance tuning Tracking of queries Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Visualization Database insights 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	No answers on this topic	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	It is better in terms of results provided. We were using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio so far and relying only on that but some one recommend to us to use pganalyze to do the query analysis and we started using it for one project and we liked it much that we have started recomended to all projects teams .. 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	Efficient product Good value for money You dont have to depend on external services Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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
