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.

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 feature of the solution is analytics."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."
"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."
"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."
"Splunk has sped up our response and reduced the time we spend manually monitoring any logs for ticketing tools or servers. It saves us around two hours daily."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the ability to correlate events together and combine the data into one event."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its flexibility and readiness because it's already prebuilt, and everything is click-to-go."
"Alerts are a huge benefit because we can customize them to each business unit's needs."
 

Cons

"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."
"Support could be improved."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should have better integrations with its suite of tools."
"Using basic natural language in English instead of writing a regex expression will be helpful."
"The disadvantage of Splunk Cloud Platform is that its integration process should be improved."
"They need to provide more training options."
"The expensive nature of the product is an area of concern that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
"The price is something that people complain about."
"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
"The certifications are costly."
"As far as the pricing goes, it was what was expected. It is a premium product. There were no surprises there."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."
"It was a good model."
"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
