Pros
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."

More Quest InTrust Pros →

"Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving""The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day.""Splunk has sped up our response and reduced the time we spend manually monitoring any logs for ticketing tools or servers. It saves us around two hours daily.""I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things.""Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature.""The log search capabilities are very good.""The cloud is very fast.""I like the fact that we do not have to maintain all the cloud infrastructure. That is probably the main thing about the Splunk Cloud Platform."

Cons
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​""​It needs to have better reporting. ​"

More Quest InTrust Cons →

"Support could be improved.""The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard.""Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS.""Splunk currently manages the components, which restricts our ability to access them directly.""Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for.""They need to provide more training options.""The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
  • More Quest InTrust 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."
