Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Previous Solutions

We used to use Tivoli. We also use AppDynamics in addition to Splunk for different parts, but we are starting to learn that Splunk does have a lot of similar toolsets. Splunk does the same as what AppDynamics does, and in some cases, there are more powerful tool sets that would help us. We are thinking of petering down our different tools to get into one tool, possibly Splunk. We already got rid of Tivoli, and we are using Splunk fully in place of Tivoli. We have seen a positive response to it.

We have seen cost efficiencies by switching to this solution. Because of the wider range of tools that Splunk offers, we were able to get rid of Tivoli and get rid of that licensing obligation on an annual basis. We are able to save a good amount of money on that and move that budget over to our Splunk budget to keep everything under one umbrella.

We previously used Datadog but it doesn't offer network monitoring features like CPU utilization or overall server performance, which Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring does, so we switched.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring offers more functionality and visibility, making it a better choice for handling cloud architecture compared to Datadog.

We have used different solutions in the past. I used CA Wily. New Relic was another tool we had used for a time. 

We had several different tools that we were using for APM monitoring and website monitoring. Over time, we migrated more to the Splunk platform because it helps to aggregate the data. Having to configure all the agents was painful, and Splunk made that a lot easier.

We also use Cisco for EDR since Splunk doesn't really have any EDR options.

We did not have a previous solution like Splunk, other than in-house-developed tools. We got acquainted with Splunk as part of the tender for our network infrastructure, and from that perspective, it has been okay.

I have worked with Kibana and Logstash, but they are not comparable to this solution.

I used other solutions before, which were LiveAction, and Cisco Prime. They were used to monitor.

Currently, I'm using PRTG for network monitoring, to monitor the network devices. With Splunk, we monitor servers, and with PRTG, we monitor the network devices such as routers, IPs, and switches.

We're also currently using IBM Pure Adarius. Although we do use both consecutively, I do prefer Splunk. It's more digital and more open.

We use both Splunk and another solution simultaneously for somewhat different purposes.
