Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can integrate different environments, including development, quality, and production. You can open implementation projects, define users' roles, manage training, design, and store all project-related documentation. Before going live, there's a checklist and cutover plan. Configuration moves from development to quality, then production, to ensure everything runs smoothly. Once in production, the platform tracks system performance, open cases, maintenance, upgrades, and new features. You can monitor everything through dashboards, reports, event notifications, and support tickets, both internally and with SAP.""Operations Analytics provides statistics, so it's like the dashboard in your car that tells you the temperature, RPMs, etc, and if something goes wrong in your car, a warning light comes on. So in analytics, you set thresholds for the thread count, and it sends you an email when it reaches a certain amount."

"Good for log collection and log management.""On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures.""It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are.""It follows MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks. There are certain notable events for which we can configure our security posture.""It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident.""The client site login is pretty extensible and probably cost-effective.""It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature.""The solution helped reduce our alert volume."

Cons
"It would be great to have a monitoring tool that could implement conditional solutions like this. Right now, it comes up with the indicators, but it doesn't necessarily send the lower-level technician to the right spot.""The solution works well, but we need better project planning. Accessing some features is a bit complicated, and we're waiting for improvements from SAP. It should also improve integration."

More SAP IT Operations Analytics Cons →

"​Not even Splunk's support guy, who came to our firm, could help with defining proper role management.​""The user experience could be improved.""The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however.""The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations.""Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now.""This is a costly solution.""Splunk could improve its default machine-learning models. Also, Splunk Enterprise's native threat intelligence isn't that good. I prefer a custom threat intelligence model.""It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."

    Overview
    SAP IT Operations Analytics gives you holistic visibility into your entire hardware and appli-cation landscape by aggregating data sources within one layer. Network topology, system log data, and external message catalogs can now be combined to provide one comprehen-sive view of the network. This helps your IT department detect incidents more quickly. SAP IT Operations Analytics integrates data sources from different layers so logs from multiple layers can be combined into one consistent, simplified data model. The sources of data can include services, applica-tions, operating systems, or even end-user devices at the top. They can go so deep as to include data from servers, the network, or storage – including sensors – in the data center, making the IT department can now correlate data patterns from multiple streams with extreme efficiency to find root causes to problems.
