"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"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."
"he cloud performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."

"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."
"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."
"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."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."
"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."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"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."
