Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is very user-friendly.""We haven't had any stability issues.""The reports that you can run are really nice.""The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well.""It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications.""The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already.""The Sharecon feature is the most valuable.""It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."

"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup.""Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%.""As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well.""The initial setup was straightforward.""The cloud is very fast.""I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."

Cons
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well.""Their technical support should be improved.""On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits.""It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment.""The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""The support needs improvement.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."

"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS.""It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale.""The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training.""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.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud.""The dashboards should be easier to customize.""The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a cost for each feature used."
  • "Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
  • "My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
  • "ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
  • "Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
  • More ManageEngine Log360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
