Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end. When smaller organizations start their journey of onboarding log sources or security solutions, they think Splunk is quite worth it. But when they start growing, they feel it's quite eating up their budget on security. So, it is fine for smaller organizations. It all depends on how the discounts are provided.

I'm not aware of the exact pricing. That said, my understanding is that it is very reasonable. However, every application has a price. We need separate licenses for everything. They don't have any bundles.

The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee. Now, we are paying less because, instead of being charged based on ingestion, we are paying for SVCs, which stands for Splunk Virtual Compute. This implies that our costs have decreased. Despite ingesting a larger volume of logs, our expenses are lower than they were before. However, it's important to note that if our usage of the tool increases, our expenses will also increase. Therefore, this represents a distinct licensing model from Splunk's.

Splunk is expensive. We have had some challenges in ensuring that all data is available in Splunk due to its cost. It has definitely proven its value in the data that we have brought in. From a resiliency and reporting perspective, those things are all very valuable. But it's certainly not the most cost-effective product in the world. It is a valuable product, but it is certainly challenging at times to be able to bring in as much data as I would want due to the cost of the product.

It's expensive. We're still trying to figure out Cloud licensing.

Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features.

I don’t have any idea what the cost of the solution is. I don’t handle the licensing.

The license costs around 100,000-150,000 rupees. Splunk Cloud is the basic version. It costs extra if you need Splunk interface or Splunk ICSA. Those are premium additions. There are additional costs if you want to use the other premium aspects of Splunk.

It's yearly a yearly license on a three-year contract. On a three-year contract, you get a discount basically - rather than putting it on a rolling yearly contract. On pricing, if I base it on the functionality of the system out of the box, I would rate it five out of five. They have several prepackaged modules you can purchase. For example, for the security type, they have Security Enterprise, with the default products getting security essentials. With Infrastructure, the same. We've got an ITOps enterprise, which again, is payable on top of the standard license. It's pretty much how much you can actually build in-house. The difference between AT&T, LogRhythm, and Splunk, while AT&T and LogRhythm are pretty out of the box (it's click and configure), Splunk is highly configurable. You can make it do whatever you want to, as long as you know how to edit the configuration files. What ITOps and Security Enterprise do, instead of you having to build all that from the ground up, so the dashboards, the logic behind it, the configuration files, and so on, become prepackaged and pre-installed.

Licensing costs are paid annually and are quite expensive.

The pricing model makes this an expensive solution.

The licensing costs depend on the data ingest volume. If you weigh the costs and the benefits, the benefits are great and it is money well spent.

Compared to other products, Splunk Cloud is expensive. The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis. It is expensive, although it has more features than other SIEM tools.
