President and Founder at STILLWATER SUPERCOMPUTING INC

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.

Centralized monitoring has transformed our multi-tenant security operations and automated response

The best features Splunk Cloud Platform offers are the multi-tenant data isolation plus role-based access control, secure index-level segregation for managing multiple global customers in a shared Splunk Cloud Platform environment. Additionally, features such as native integrations with SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM enable us to automate incident response, ticketing, and end-to-end security workflows across client environments. The high-scale injection plus SPL correlation process handles large volumes of infrastructure security logs with real-time analytics for managing SOC and cloud operations. Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted our organization as we have achieved faster incident detection and response, lower MTTR with real-time SPL alerts and automated workflows. It has also improved our multi-tenant visibility and centralized monitoring, reducing tool sprawl. We also saw better compliance and audit readiness with consistent log retention and reporting.

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."

"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."

"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."

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

"Dashboards and alerting are the most valuable features. The dashboards let us see how the system looks in terms of anomalies, and the alerts trigger us to go and look at what possible problems are happening."

"Overall, I find that Splunk is pretty good; it is a very mature product and I can see that compared to when I used it five years ago as an end-user, they have been improving in every way."

"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."

"Splunk Cloud Platform has greatly improved my daily operations through enhanced integration with third-party tools."

"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."

"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."

"Not having to maintain any infrastructure is valuable. That frees up a lot of time as well."

"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

Cons

"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing model makes the product costly."

"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 pricing models should be improved and optimized. Right now, the pricing is a bit too expensive."

"The licensing cost is the one issue with Splunk Cloud Platform."

"Splunk Cloud Platform should have better integrations with its suite of tools."

"From my perspective, customization needs to be simplified and I'd like to see a reduction in the cost of the solution."
