"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
