Reliable performance enhances operations with good technical support

AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making
I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs."
"The log search capabilities are very good."
"I have done health checks several times now, and those have been very valuable in getting more information about what is going on in my platform. There are also recommendations on what is going on in my environment."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."
"In terms of the benefits of the product, I would say it is my go-to tool."
"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."
"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
"Splunk Cloud's SVC licensing model lacks transparency."
"The disadvantage of Splunk Cloud Platform is that its integration process should be improved."
"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."
"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is something that people complain about."
"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"I know that Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive product."
"We were on ingest. We were on-prem, and when we switched to the cloud, we went to an SVC model, and that has been a huge help. We are now able to ingest more data than before."
"I do not personally deal with that side, but from discussions, I know that it is one of the more expensive tools. I do not have anything to compare it with."
