Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

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

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The cloud is very fast."
"The log search capabilities are very good."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"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."
"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 Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%."
"There is definitely the ease of the infrastructure administration. It frees up a lot of time."
 

Cons

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"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."
"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."
"I want to have the ability to process the ingestion before it is sent to the back end and Splunk just announced that the feature is coming, so now it just needs to be released."
"The support from the Splunk team is generally good, but sometimes, there's a lack of coordination between our account reps and the hands-on technical people. This misalignment can lead to issues with getting what we need done and what is happening."
"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."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."
"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."
"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."
"As far as the pricing goes, it was what was expected. It is a premium product. There were no surprises there."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
"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."
"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"It is not that expensive."
