"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"This is a complete log reporting 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 cloud is very fast."
"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"
"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."
"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
"he cloud performance is good."
"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 dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"Support could be improved."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
