We compared Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) and VMware Tanzu Observability across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront excels in ease of deployment and integration, while Splunk ITSI offers a range of valuable features for analysis, monitoring, and security. While reviewers said that Tanzu is an expensive solution that needs better documentation and Kubernetes integration, they noted that Splunk STSI has room to improve in terms of dashboard queries and integration.
"Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive."
"The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times."
"The KPS used to automate the integration policy is the most valuable feature of Splunk ITSI."
"One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services."
"We have a lot of teams using Splunk and they would be blind without it."
"The glass tables are very helpful."
"The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."
"This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private."
"The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation."
"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes."
"People are very pleased with the implementation."
"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."
"The cost of the license could be lower."
"Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources."
"It could be a little easier to use with the thresholding. We've struggled a little bit with thresholding."
"After upgrading Splunk ITSI from version 4.11 to 4.13, the analyzer stopped finding values for KPS and services."
"It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"The solution should integrate more features in NEAP."
"They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."
"It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."
"The initial setup should be easier and more seamless."
"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
