We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup.""The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based.""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 solution is user friendly and has extensive uses.""We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices.""We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation.""VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."

Cons
"They need to provide more training options.""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 only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market.""Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring.""When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud.""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.""Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."

More Splunk Cloud Platform Cons →

"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""Should have more YouTube webinars."

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."
