Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
- Alerting quickly and correctly
- High data integrity
- Providing real user monitoring
- Quick log searching

If you have a data centre where all your apps and servers are in one single network, you could probably get away with older solutions. But for any modern, complex, hybrid-cloud microservices environment, Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is a must-have.
- Uses one tool (OTEL) to enable integration
- Enables custom tagging
- Correlates Infrastructure and APM
- RBAC is needed to enable the segmentation of duties and keep dashboards and detectors safe from ad-hoc changes.
- Ability to seamlessly import the Billing and Usage SO data into Splunk Core to analyze

Splunk review
- SignalFx Agent Easy Installation. We have many examples of installing SignalFx via Ansible, Chef, and Packer.
- Manu type of detectors for all the Cloud (AWS , Azure and GCP).
- Signal Flow - Support for Creating Detectors using the Programming Interface.
- Documentation and tutorials for Beginners for starting to learn SignalFX / Splunk.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
- Integrations and customizations with SignalFx are relatively easy.
- We haven't seen any noticeable downtime events or impactful service interruptions in our environment.
- Graphs and detectors cannot process more than 10,000 hosts at a time.
- Few other features we'd like to see are missing, but they are improving day by day.
- To improve business process outcomes.
- Improve compliance and security requirements.
- Strong support and services expertise.
- More flexibility in pricing.
- Importing logs for custom applications are sometimes difficult.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
- UX, dashboards and KPI charts.
- Really good documentation and training options.
- Splunk supports hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructure monitoring a big plus for enterprises with cloud services.
- It's expensive only large enterprise can afford.
- UI improvement - built in dashboard templates, search and filter options.
One of the best Infrastructure Monitoring Tools
- Excellent reporting for the monitoring information.
- Graphical representation in charts and workflows.
- Detailed logging for all the monitoring activity.
- Integration with cloud services like AWS and IBM.
- Cost is on the higher side.
- Density and detailing in logs should be increased to give in-depth analysis of the issue/error encountered.
- Documentation needs to be improved.
- Fast, real-time graphs
- The agility to build and customize personal dashboards
- The ability to get a full view on abnormal performance/use of system and services
- Predictive AI for anomalous behavior
- Suggesting root cause of malfunction
- Metric breakdowns
- Dashboards and charts
- Detectors and alerting mechanism
- Chart sharing needs an improvement because it creates links only valid for 7 days.
- Metrics search can be improved, most of the time I want to see which specific metric is used in which charts. This would make my life so much easier to find the charts that I’m looking for.
- There is a 5000 time series limit on each metric. If any metric has a breakdown more than 5000 combination, only some of them is reported and this make my charts sometimes unreliable. It would be nice to support more time series, at least with a configuration.
Great product
This is one of the most advanced tools I've used for the matter, I was always able to find a way to show the data I need in a manner that will expose the info I'm looking for, adding alerts based on this is a killer feature. The only drawback I find is that you might have a [steep] learning curve in order to control this tool.
- Diagnostic
- Advanced charting
- Alerts
- Easiness of use
- Templates for common usage
- Better documentation
If you find yourself repeating some math over and over just to extract interesting information from your product the try it out.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
- Resource utilisation metrics
- Continuous data sent from within applications
- Integration with 3rd party tools to trigger on-call notification alerts
- I'd say better advice on how best organizations can tailor it to suit their needs
- I've seen newcomers face a steeper learning curve, and hence better documentation
- I'm not a big fan of how active/inactive metrics can be told apart
- It’s very customizable and accepts any metric.
- Customer support is quick and good quality.
- Easy to create graphs and detectors.
- Accumulates alerts from terminated EC2 instances and then sends false/incorrect alerts when another instance uses the same IP.
- Documentation is sometimes hard to understand. Could use more examples.
- SignalFX handles historical metric aggregation exceptionally well, providing a multifaceted approach to event detection based on anomalies.
- SignalFX's cost is incredibly flexible with their pricing model of DPM (data-point per minute) vs the traditional "per host" model that most monitoring SaaS use.
- SignalFX support is responsive and knowledgeable, very eager to help solve your immediate problems.
- SignalFX integrations is vast and constantly growing, making adoption easy even when multiple different open-source technologies are used in your stack.
- SignalFX has room for improvement in UX. With the amount of options available, SignalFX use can be somewhat complicated. They seem to prefer a less-opinionated implementation, which can have its pros and cons. Other solutions like Datadog can be easier to implement, though at the cost of their opinion on implementation and price.
