Visibility between on-premises and cloud
Platform engineers and SREs in organizations that are moving homegrown workloads to the cloud often have fragmented visibility of their hybrid IT landscape, caused by the scale and ephemeral nature of cloud environments. This lack of end-to-end visibility can result in service degradations and prolonged downtimes.
Platform engineers and SREs commonly use either homegrown monitoring systems that are incomplete and require heavy maintenance, or commercial tools that were designed for a subset of environments and monitoring needs, resulting in a fragmented view of their hybrid cloud.
Software engineers who build new apps in the cloud are used to instrumenting their code with time series data (metrics) using open source frameworks such as Prometheus, Telegraf, StatsD, or CollectD. Collecting and visualizing these metrics directly into the Splunk platform is often not easy or intuitive. In addition, when viewing logs for troubleshooting, software engineers often use purpose-built visual tools that require separate data ingestion. If the organization already uses the Splunk platform, they end up paying twice for the same log data.

Expected outcomes
With Splunk Observability Cloud, DevOps teams are able to view all the data they need for faster troubleshooting in a single, simple unified experience, without needing heavy maintenance or paying twice for sending the same data.
