Pros
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""It is a stable product.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready.""The complexity of the solution is very less."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration.""It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use.""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.""The initial setup was straightforward.""The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses.""Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%.""We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices.""For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

Cons
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here.""The documentation could be improved.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention.""The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Cons →

"The pricing model makes the product costly.""They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated.""Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring.""The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good.""The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements.""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.""Customization could be simplified.""I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
  • "Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
  • "The price is too expensive."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
  • "The tool is pretty expensive."
  • "The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
  • "The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
  • More Salesforce Service Cloud 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."
