What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Splunk Enterprise Platform?

I wasn't involved with the initial purchase, but I understand the pricing, setup cost, and licensing are quite expensive.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been fairly straightforward; the partner we had to help us set up was pretty good.

I do not get too involved in the licensing, so I do not really have much of an opinion on that. However, regarding setup cost, the reference hardware is provided and seems to be overkill for some of the host types. I believe it would be beneficial to understand where savings could be made by running slightly smaller compute for things such as license servers since I do not think the reference hardware is always necessary and could reduce setup and operational costs.

I do not have any experiences with pricing, setup cost, and licensing because that is managed by another layer of management from my side.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been good, as my account manager has been able to handle everything seamlessly.

We have a perpetual license for Splunk Enterprise Platform, which serves us very well. However, maintenance costs increase year over year, which is proving challenging to our organization given routinely tight budgets, and it would be helpful if maintenance costs could come down.

I sometimes help our product manager with pricing, but usually to anticipate the needed license, size of logs, or VCPU.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that Splunk Enterprise Platform is a luxury product. From my point of view, the price is truly acceptable. In some huge installations, we calculate offers by SV rather than by ingesting gigabytes. There are many different ways to achieve a perfect price for the end user.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that licensing is a pain.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Splunk Enterprise Platform is positive and acceptable.

We, as a managed service provider, manage and set up Splunk Enterprise Platform for customers.

I did not have a decision-making role and generally was not involved in negotiations, only in assessing Splunk Enterprise Platform against alternatives regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Splunk Enterprise Platform is that the add-ons feel very expensive. The ingest license—I was fortunate to piggyback off of a parent organization that had an ingest license that was more than we needed—but then there are extra features that we would get that feel priced out of reach.

I do not have any experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, as that is not within my responsibility.

I do not have a full experience with that, but I do know that for pricing and setup cost, we use Splunk partners that we interact with for that.

I do not have information about pricing, setup cost, or licensing because I am part of the operations team, not the engineering team.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is expensive.

We were able to track some metrics that indicated success in reducing TCO with Splunk's non-indexing analytics approach; while we were able to save some money by deploying Splunk, after adding a few extra devices, our ingestion went up significantly, which could have increased costs, but we managed that.

Pricing for Splunk Enterprise Platform is actually very high, but at the same time, the value that it gives is highly beneficial.

Regarding pricing, I find that Splunk is quite expensive, and I have seen customers getting migrated since the last two years.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the setup costs and licensing are pretty high.

Regarding pricing, it is costly. I don't know the exact numbers, but it is very expensive. However, it is worth it when you are using it properly. When you have a proper SIEM, proper data, and everything is in compliance, and you use Splunk Enterprise Platform to its full potential, then this investment is worth it.

I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform an expensive tool because budget constraints from license-based data ingestion costs are significant. Costs can escalate rapidly when duplicate data is processed, which Splunk Enterprise Platform can identify to help clients save directly on unnecessary spending.

Right now, the Enterprise version is reasonable. When we go for Splunk Cloud or something similar, we recently had negotiations, and that is acceptable. When it comes to Enterprise, it is definitely reasonable in terms of pricing.

Regarding pricing, I remember that Splunk is generally more expensive than SIEMs such as Microsoft Sentinel and Securonix, while it is also pricier than Elastic Security. From my perspective, Splunk tends to be too expensive for smaller customers. This leads us not to recommend it for small companies due to the high cost and often pushes us to suggest alternatives such as Elastic Security, which has more volume-based licensing options.

I rate the pricing of Splunk as nine out of ten. The pricing model is based on ingesting data sizes, not user count, and includes a free tier for up to 500 MB of daily data, differentiating it from user-based pricing BI-tools.

Splunk Enterprise Platform is expensive.

I would rate the pricing around three out of ten, considering the tool's cost. We haven't used any extra features, so I'm not sure about additional offerings.

The tool is expensive.

The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing.

Splunk Enterprise Platform can seem a bit costly compared to their five-year plans. There's a need to provide options, such as offering a free license for up to ten GB of data or a limited-time test and development license at no cost. For instance, if a company purchases a one-year product license, it could receive additional test and development licenses for free, up to a certain data limit. While there would naturally be some restrictions, such as limitations on certain features or functionalities, offering these options could encourage more people to adopt Splunk for their needs. Many individuals and stakeholders hesitate due to Splunk's perceived high costs when considering the additional expenses for enterprise support, operational support, and device licenses. Introducing more flexible licensing options could alleviate these concerns and attract more users to the platform, benefiting both Splunk and its customers.

I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution.

Splunk Enterprise Platform is a bit expensive.

The product is expensive, and the cost depends on the amount of data ingestion.

If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue. It can be perceived as expensive, especially for organizations dealing with large volumes of data, such as in the banking sector, where numerous logs are generated every second. While other tools are available at lower costs, some teams may consider open-source or lower-cost alternatives, especially if they have funding constraints.

Our customers pay for the licenses. It’s bundled together in a yearly subscription.

There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution.

The solution’s pricing is moderate. We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, and there is an additional cost for support.

I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool.

The platform is too expensive for small businesses. If you choose the free plan, it only has 15 GB of data per day, and it may not be enough to run a small business. You need to pay a subscription based on data ingestion, and that's very expensive. Splunk should focus more on delivering something for small businesses and entrepreneurs. I give the pricing a three or four out of ten. Although the product is pricey, it's truly magnificent.

Spunk is used by big companies like with 2000 clients. I rate the solution’s pricing one out of ten.

You must buy a license with the on-prem version, usually through an intermediary. In France, it's Accenture. There are cloud solutions where Splunk handles the servers and patching directly, and you just use the solution. The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten. Though the solution is expensive, it depends on which company purchases the product.
