Centralized security has protected hybrid workloads and provides deep visibility into cloud traffic
Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM. Dynamically scaling in public cloud requires more manual effort. Third-party integrations and ecosystem: fewer native connectors with SIEM/SOAR platforms, CSPM, and third-party tools compared to market leaders. Documentation and training material: technical documentation and community resources (forums, tutorials, KB) are more limited, which lengthens the learning curve for new teams. SASE/SSE capabilities: the integrated SASE/ZTNA offering is less mature compared to the convergence already provided by Fortinet or Palo Alto. Centralized multi-instance management: managing large fleets of virtual appliances could be smoother; centralized management (HSM) works, but some users would like more granularity and automation.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.
