We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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."

"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI.""They are a good partner for Google Cloud. It provides great visibility, threat detection, and proactive mitigation of risks for our mutual consumers.""Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc.""If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best.""The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see.""The ability to quickly search logs, performance data, and other inputs has helped tremendously with troubleshooting.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""We evaluated several solutions and selected Splunk due to the functionality and cost."

Cons
"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.""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."

"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them.""The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options.""I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk.""Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration.""While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged.""Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs.""In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility.""The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."

    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.
