We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The network data collection has been very flexible for us. It's been thorough in areas that were lacking. They have a team that I've worked with to add other pieces to it. So if it's missing something out of the box, they work with me to add it. I was able to collect that data. It's not perfect, but it's pretty thorough."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the scale-up and scale-down. The scale-up is an operation where the CPU boosts-up and then the memory will boost-up. That works awesomely."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"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."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"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."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"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."
