Introduction

As IT operations grow more complex in 2026, relying solely on alert notifications is no longer enough. Splunk On‑Call provides solid on-call scheduling and incident notifications, but modern teams require automation, self-service, and global multi-channel alerting.

Callgoose SQIBS has emerged as a strong Splunk On‑Call alternative, delivering incident auto-remediation, workflow automation, self-service portals, and multi-lingual notifications.

This article explores why organizations are evaluating Splunk On‑Call alternatives and why Callgoose SQIBS is increasingly preferred.

What Splunk On‑Call Does Well

Splunk On‑Call is recognized for:

• Reliable on-call scheduling and escalation
• Aggregating alerts from monitoring tools
• Tracking incidents via timeline and reporting

These features are useful for teams that need basic alert management and escalation workflows.

Where Splunk On‑Call Falls Short

Despite its capabilities, Splunk On‑Call has several limitations:

1. No Built-In Automation No remediation

Teams must rely on external scripts or tools to resolve incidents automatically.

2.No Self-Service Portal

End users and business teams cannot independently trigger workflows or resolve issues without IT intervention.

3.Cost at Scale

Pricing increases per user, which can become expensive as teams grow.

4.Tool Fragmentation

Automation and workflow orchestration require third-party solutions, adding complexity.

How Callgoose SQIBS Bridges the Gaps

Callgoose SQIBS was designed as an automation-first, self-service incident response platform:

Workflow Customization with Existing Tools

Affordable Pricing
