Introduction

As organizations scale their digital operations in 2025, incident management costs are under scrutiny. While Splunk On‑Call provides essential alerting and on-call scheduling, many teams find that its per-user pricing and lack of automation make it costly when compared to modern alternatives.

Callgoose SQIBS offers a cost-effective, automation-first incident response platform that combines on-call management, workflow automation, self-service portals, and multi-channel alerts providing better value than Splunk On‑Call.

What Splunk On‑Call Does Well

• Reliable on-call scheduling and escalation
• Incident alert aggregation from monitoring tools
• Basic reporting for teams

Splunk On‑Call remains a functional tool for organizations primarily needing alert notifications and rotation management.

Where Teams Find Splunk On‑Call Costly

Per-User Pricing

Costs increase as teams grow or add additional services.

Limited Feature Scope

No automation or self-service; organizations must maintain multiple tools to handle the full incident lifecycle.

Manual Remediation Required

Engineers spend time resolving issues manually, which increases labor costs and extends downtime.

Why Callgoose SQIBS Is a Cost-Effective Alternative

• Predictable Pricing: Plans start at $10/month for full-featured incident response.
• Automation Reduces Labor Costs: Automatic remediation workflows minimize engineer involvement.
• Self-Service Portal: Non-technical teams can trigger workflows independently, reducing operational load.
• Multi-Channel & Multi-Lingual Alerts: Reach the right person immediately, globally, without adding tools.

By combining automation, self-service, and predictable pricing, Callgoose SQIBS reduces total cost of ownership and accelerates incident resolution.
