Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

It improves our visibility and decision-making while helping us meet compliance standards
The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function. It's easy to monitor multiple cloud environments because you can create custom dashboards for any use case you may have. It offers good visibility because it integrates with the ITSI app, providing a clear overview of your environment. Integrating Splunk with other components on the cloud and network resources is effortless because it can collect data from various sources, including stored data from long-term storage. Splunk's reporting offers a good visualization of your data. You can visualize the statistics based on your searches. It produces some helpful graphs that enable you to easily compare what's happening in your search. It's very comprehensive.

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function."
 

Cons

"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."
"It would be nice to see more comparisons between Splunk and other log management tools. There are some legacy tools that people are often coming off. It will ease the transition if you are coming off a Windows LogViewer or any other logging tool. Splunk could offer more advice on how to transition into it or onboard it."
"The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should have better integrations with its suite of tools."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS."
"Splunk Cloud could improve by having pre-defined templates. It has very good design views, but there is no predefined template. You have to define your own. If they could add predefined templates for different use cases."
"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The certifications are costly."
"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented 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."
"The price is something that people complain about."
