I love the amount of analytics power that SignalFX gives you. They definitely excel in clearly delivering and displaying lots of data. The pre-built dashboards and charts for common situations are also very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While it is easy to work with something that is already present in SingalFX, it is very difficult to start from scratch. Graphs and charts will look great once you create them, but digging into any options beyond that basics can be challenging and is not well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SignalFx makes it easy to visualize and alert on time series data. If you want to make charts of system load, requests per second, and so on, they will likely serve you well. Their tag/dimension model works well for our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SignalFx doesn't (yet) have a good story on ephemeral data. If you're monitoring docker containers that come into and out of existence frequently, you'll find pain points. Also, their metrics catalog can be very slow and unhelpful - this makes it difficult to find your data if you don't know its exact nomenclature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simplifies collectd use, allowing users to leverage the power of collectd without all the headaches of attaining visualization and actionable alerts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SignalFX is somewhat difficult with newer integrations. A lot of iteration and support usually is needed when setting up a newer released integration, especially for very generic integrations such as StatsD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Splunk takes the tedium out of sifting through lengthy log files. It helps to eliminate the possibility of missing important events in the volume of events in a log. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At first it took some time to get familiar with the Splunk Programming Language. It didn't seem very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Security and Manageability. It's a product with high compliance necessity, and they meet demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With those security requirements come an additional level of restrictions in terms of vetting apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a lot of queries we can run. There is a huge leaving curve though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being to the right questions takes time n gives a lot of results which have to sift thru Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Time to value data and versatility, dashboards and visualisations to enrich data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing big, just some restrictions compared to the enterprise version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a very well architected product. I love the ability to send metrics with high number of dimensions and then aggregate them in a lot of different ways (average, max, min, topk, percentiles)etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The alerting system needs to improve. We are using it for alerting on our production system and there are times when the alerts behave funkily.. though a lot of these cases are gaps in our understanding emanating from unclear descriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We moved our on prem splunk instance (100gb a day) to the cloud and its been amazing. Its so nice not having to manage the infrasturcture (except for heavy forwarders) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having to contact support to install splunk apps. Sometimes we have to wait for them vs doing it ourselves faster before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like thier customer support the best. They are pretty fast with resolving the issues or telling me what to do. I have been able to mail the SA's directly and they have been pretty fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Few of the features i feel were not planned properly . E.g aws tags comes with the prefix aws_ , this screws up my dashboards as my application might be reporting with test while signalFx says aws_test and i cannot use both of them in the same dashboard.
SignalFx mostly is playing catchup with leaders such as Datadog. As a product, i feel datadog is much more matured compared to signalFx. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
