We have a very good conversation with our vendor for Splunk APM. We have full transparency regarding the different license and cost models. We have found a way to handle both the normal average load and the high peak that some of our tests can cause. Splunk APM is a very cost-efficient solution. We have also changed the license model from a host-based license model to a more granular way to measure it, such as the number of metric time series or the traces analyzed per minute. We have quite a firm statement that for every cost caused within Splunk, you need to be able to correlate it to an IT project or a team to see who the biggest cost driver is. As per our current model, we are buying a capacity, and we eventually want to have a pay-as-you-go model. We cannot use that currently because we have renewed our license for only one year.

The pricing is reasonable.
The solution is reasonably priced compared to the competition. We do not find it very expensive at all.
I haven't dealt with the pricing and licensing aspects of the solution.
