Introduction

As incident management becomes more automation-driven, organizations are re-evaluating the value of traditional alerting tools like Splunk On‑Call. While Splunk On‑Call is reliable for on-call scheduling and alerts, it lacks automation, self-service, and multi-lingual support, resulting in higher operational overhead and longer MTTR.

Callgoose SQIBS provides a modern, cost-effective alternative that consolidates alerting, automation, and self-service in one platform, helping organizations reduce downtime and operational costs.

Understanding Splunk On‑Call Pricing

Splunk On‑Call charges per user with add-ons for reporting and integrations. As teams scale, costs increase substantially, particularly for global operations requiring multiple tools for automation or workflows.

Where Teams Face Cost Challenges

Per-User Model

Cost grows linearly with team size, making expansion expensive.

Multiple Tools Needed

No native automation or self-service portal means additional tools must be purchased or maintained.

Operational Overhead

Manual execution of remediation workflows increases staff hours and MTTR.

Why Callgoose SQIBS is More Affordable

Callgoose SQIBS addresses these challenges with:

• Predictable Pricing: Plans start at $10/month, covering automation and self-service.
• Built-In Automation: Reduces the need for extra tools or manual interventions.
• Self-Service Portal: End users can trigger workflows without IT intervention.
• Consolidation: A single platform replaces multiple fragmented systems.

This results in a lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI for teams of all sizes.
