Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes."
"The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available."
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The price has room for improvement."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
