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.

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

"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Everything is maintained by the Splunk support team. Users do not have to maintain any physical servers. They do not have to maintain indexes and searches. It reduces a lot of work on the user side."
"The biggest thing I appreciate about Splunk Cloud Platform is the stability of this platform."
"With Splunk Cloud Platform, you can modify whatever you want; let's say you want to run Python, you want to run any script, you want to monitor any port, you want to monitor data from syslog, whatever you think, you can do it in Splunk Cloud Platform."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"he cloud performance is good."
"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"I appreciate the expansion capability of Splunk Cloud Platform, where we can forward any kind of data to the cloud endpoint they provide with no need for maintenance or infrastructure management because they keep the environment very stable and handle any issues through support cases."
 

Cons

"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"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."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
"The overall experience is positive, but there are a few areas where I think Splunk Cloud Platform can improve."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"There is something that they say will be improved, and I am still waiting for it."
"Recently, we got stuck somewhere in an error, but because of the less documentation available in ChatGPT or in any LLM, we had to go through every documentation and then we got the result."
"I believe there are a few areas of Splunk Cloud Platform that have room for improvement, particularly in user customization and documentation clarity."
"One area that has room for improvement in Splunk Cloud Platform is support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
"Splunk is a bit more expensive than some solutions, but customers can derive more value from it due to the features it has."
"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."
"I do not personally deal with that side, but from discussions, I know that it is one of the more expensive tools. I do not have anything to compare it with."
"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."
"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."
"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."
