"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based.""We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't.""Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving""Its monitoring is completely automated.""I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things.""We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices.""Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration.""The initial setup was straightforward."

Cons
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to.""Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use.""Splunk Cloud could improve by having pre-defined templates. It has very good design views, but there is no predefined template. You have to define your own. If they could add predefined templates for different use cases.""Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved.""Customization could be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
  • "The pricing is quite harsh."
  • "It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
  • "ArcSight is an expensive solution."
  • "I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
  • "Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
  • More ArcSight Logger Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
