Introduction

When evaluating incident response platforms in 2025, organizations must consider more than just alert delivery. Splunk On‑Call provides alerting and on-call management but lacks automation, self-service portals, and multi-lingual support, forcing teams to rely on multiple tools to manage incidents effectively.

Callgoose SQIBS consolidates alerting, automation, and self-service in a single platform. This blog provides a detailed feature-by-feature comparison between Callgoose SQIBS and Splunk On‑Call to help teams make informed decisions.

What Splunk On‑Call Does Well

• Alert aggregation from monitoring tools
• Basic reporting and analytics for on-call rotations

Splunk On‑Call is suitable for organizations primarily seeking alert notifications with structured on-call schedules.

Where Teams Find Splunk On‑Call Limited

No Self-Service Portal
