Real-time data with a user-friendly interface
The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms. I've been using MashZone NextGen Business Analytics for three years. This solution is stable. I believe…
Ian Gatundu - PeerSpot reviewer
It improves our visibility and decision-making while helping us meet compliance standards
The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function. It's easy to monitor multiple cloud environments because you can create custom dashboards for any use case you may have. It offers good visibility because it integrates with the ITSI app, providing a clear overview of your environment. Integrating Splunk with other components on the cloud and network resources is effortless because it can collect data from various sources, including stored data from long-term storage. Splunk's reporting offers a good visualization of your data. You can visualize the statistics based on your searches. It produces some helpful graphs that enable you to easily compare what's happening in your search. It's very comprehensive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mashzone is the best product on the market for process analysis."
"The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use."
"The technical support from Germany is very good."
"This solution is made to be easy-to-use. If you can use Excel, you can use MashZone."
"The log search capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the ability to correlate events together and combine the data into one event."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"There is definitely the ease of the infrastructure administration. It frees up a lot of time."
"Dashboarding has been very powerful. I work with a lot of different customers, so being able to tailor the data for different customers has been valuable. I am able to make visuals and have reports where they can self-serve."
"Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
 

Cons

"MashZone is not very good to use with big data, statistical analysis, or financial analysis. This is not what it is built to do."
"MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects."
"There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."
"I would love to be able to manage my own apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."
"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"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."
"The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
"I know that Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive product."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
