Needs better cybersecurity features but offers robust log ingestion

Splunk Cloud Platform needs improvement in its security offerings, specifically in cybersecurity. It has not kept pace with competitors over recent years, and integration with the Cisco ecosystem after Cisco's acquisition of Splunk has also been slow. The product should incorporate more readily available features, especially in security monitoring. The federated search feature is costly. Extracting meaningful insights beyond essential log data proves challenging due to the product's reliance on manual processes. Users must manually configure detections, develop logic for insights, and manage dashboards. While the product boasts numerous out-of-the-box capabilities, these often require extensive modification to align with specific user needs, limiting their practical applicability. Splunk Cloud Platform doesn't inherently provide visibility as a standalone product. It's a platform for building custom visibility solutions. We need to feed it data and then write logic to define what insights we want to extract. While pre-built solutions might be available in the marketplace, Splunk doesn't offer out-of-the-box visibility. If we know our requirements, we can utilize code and research to create custom dashboards, but it requires effort and expertise. The pre-built reports in Splunk Cloud Platform are generic and require manual adjustments to extract specific, granular information, which requires the user to be knowledgeable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"There is definitely the ease of the infrastructure administration. It frees up a lot of time."

"In terms of the benefits of the product, I would say it is my go-to tool."

"It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity."

"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."

"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."

"The cloud is very fast."

"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."

"I like the idea of being able to list the IPs that we want without having to open up a ticket to get it done so that way if anything changes we can add a new IP."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."

"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."

"It would be nice to see more comparisons between Splunk and other log management tools. There are some legacy tools that people are often coming off. It will ease the transition if you are coming off a Windows LogViewer or any other logging tool. Splunk could offer more advice on how to transition into it or onboard it."

"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."

"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."

"The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to."

"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 should offer various options for real-time monitoring."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented it."

"It is not that expensive."

"The cost makes more sense for organizations that have a large amount of data ranges."

"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."

"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."

"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."

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."

"We were involved in the renewal process, and our organization does reviews of all our partnerships that we have every two to three years to ensure they are meeting our needs, there isn't a better solution out there, and we won't save money by going somewhere else."
