Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is analytics."

More AppInsights Pros →

"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial.""I like the fact that we do not have to maintain all the cloud infrastructure. That is probably the main thing about the Splunk Cloud Platform.""The initial setup was straightforward.""The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses.""It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use.""It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity.""This is a complete log reporting tool.""As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."

Cons
"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."

More AppInsights Cons →

"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly.""In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects.""Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS.""The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements.""The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to.""Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware.""Support could be improved.""When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
  • More AppInsights 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."
