It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making

I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%."

"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."

"Its monitoring is completely automated."

"In an enterprise, you need a universal or heavy forwarder. If you don't have that, you need an HSE token or API request call and all the different components. In Splunk Cloud, you just have one instance to search all the data in your index. You don't need to manage it because Splunk handles that."

"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."

"In terms of the benefits of the product, I would say it is my go-to tool."

"For my purposes, I like the ability to aggregate lots of data from different sources. I like being able to report for management and being able to get alerts on thresholds being out of sync."

"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."

I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform deployment process could be improved to reduce the time required."

"The pricing model makes the product costly."

"Since I work on data collection from external sources and send them into Splunk, I miss its ability to collect that data through REST API applications."

"Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."

"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."

"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."

"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It was a good model."

"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."

"We were on ingest. We were on-prem, and when we switched to the cloud, we went to an SVC model, and that has been a huge help. We are now able to ingest more data than before."

"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."

"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."

"My company has a license for Splunk Cloud Platform. My company also has a license for Splunk Enterprise."

"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 lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
