Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can save logs as plain text.""Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency.""The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis.""The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality.""It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."

"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.""It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity.""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.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""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.""Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team.""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."

Cons
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."

More Rapid7 InsightOps Cons →

"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.""The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good.""Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for.""There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that.""The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements.""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.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to."

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."
