Financial / IT Director at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes
Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the SPL because without it we wouldn't be able to correlate and build our use cases and manage what we have for our data inside Splunk."
"Splunk Cloud Platform offers exceptional features including quick upgrades, as Splunk Cloud receives the first upgrade for any GA release with rapid support."
"Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted our organization because we have been able to detect increases in failures and report on success rates of our platform."
"It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."
"The biggest thing I appreciate about Splunk Cloud Platform is the stability of this platform."
"Data Visualization and IT Alerting and Incident Management are the main valuable features, primarily to get a better idea of what's going on."
 

Cons

"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"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."
"The biggest downside about Splunk Cloud Platform for me is the cost."
"I think that Splunk Cloud Platform is good, and I rate it seven or eight."
"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."
"The initial learning curve should be more personalized for new users who just started using Splunk Cloud Platform."
"Using basic natural language in English instead of writing a regex expression will be helpful."
"The return on investment with Splunk Cloud Platform has been poor. There is a significant possibility we will be replacing it in the next quarter or two."
"The expensive nature of the product is an area of concern that needs to be considered for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The price is something that people complain about."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"It was a good model."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."
"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."
"I know that Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive product."
"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
