Karen Trinidad - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-efficient, good analytics, and stable
Since our application is hosted in the cloud, there is no need for installation. I can simply access the portal and navigate to App Insights for easy access. I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. The deployment took approximately 24 hours to complete due to the large amount of data that had to be transferred. We had about fifteen people involved in the configuration, with two main people taking the lead and the rest on standby in case something happened.

It improves our visibility and decision-making while helping us meet compliance standards
The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function. It's easy to monitor multiple cloud environments because you can create custom dashboards for any use case you may have. It offers good visibility because it integrates with the ITSI app, providing a clear overview of your environment. Integrating Splunk with other components on the cloud and network resources is effortless because it can collect data from various sources, including stored data from long-term storage. Splunk's reporting offers a good visualization of your data. You can visualize the statistics based on your searches. It produces some helpful graphs that enable you to easily compare what's happening in your search. It's very comprehensive.

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 feature of the solution is analytics."
"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."
"Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"Alerts are a huge benefit because we can customize them to each business unit's needs."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the ability to correlate events together and combine the data into one event."
"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."
"In an enterprise, you need a universal or heavy forwarder. If you don't have that, you need an HSE token or API request call and all the different components. In Splunk Cloud, you just have one instance to search all the data in your index. You don't need to manage it because Splunk handles that."
 

Cons

"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."
"When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform deployment process could be improved to reduce the time required."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
"Some of the Victoria Experience that was rolled out is not yet fully everywhere. The AI assistant is going to be good, but we are on GCP, so I am worried about how fast it is going to get rolled out and if it is going to be nine months late for the GCP customers or not."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."
"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."
"It was a good model."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."
"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented it."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."
