It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Unified data monitoring has enabled proactive alerts and predictive analysis for daily operations

I don't see any new requirements in terms of improvements for Splunk Cloud Platform at this time. Splunk's dashboarding, reporting, and visualizations are evolving at a larger scale with the new Splunk Dashboard Studio in place. There were some limitations with the classic dashboard where you had to be aware of different HTML, CSS, and custom JavaScript for better visualizations. That's being migrated towards Splunk Dashboard Studio, which is evolving at a great pace, providing similar functionalities. I have not faced any current challenges regarding Splunk Cloud Platform's limitations. I still think, however, that better configuration and customization options for workload management could be enhanced, but that applies to Splunk Enterprise as well. It's just my understanding and what I foresee, but I'm not sure if it will be a priority right now, as even without workload management, a lot can be done, and the product team might have a different roadmap.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."

"Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration."

"This is a complete log reporting tool."

"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."

"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."

"Dashboarding has been very powerful. I work with a lot of different customers, so being able to tailor the data for different customers has been valuable. I am able to make visuals and have reports where they can self-serve."

"Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."

"I like the idea of being able to list the IPs that we want without having to open up a ticket to get it done so that way if anything changes we can add a new IP."

Cons

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"Sometimes, the support team may not be fully knowledgeable about the challenge you face, but through their internal escalation structure, they manage to find viable solutions sooner or later or provide updates on when issues will be fixed."

"I would love to be able to manage my own apps."

"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."

"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."

"The pricing model makes the product costly."

"The expensive nature of the product is an area of concern that needs to be considered for improvement."

"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."

"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."

"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."

"The price is something that people complain about."

"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."

"The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."

"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."

"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."

"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."
