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.

Log analysis has transformed incident resolution and now boosts daily development productivity
I wish Splunk Cloud Platform is a little more scalable. Whenever we are trying to scale up our storage, currently it stores the logs up to three months. If we want to search for prior logs after three months, we cannot find it because it stores the logs only up to three months. Suppose an incident has come up and changed to a PRB, and that PRB was created more than five or six months back, we will not be able to find the root cause because logs will be deleted automatically after three months. That is one thing I wish it to be scalable. It is not beginner-friendly because all the information or the payload that it sends or shows is kind of concatenated, compressed, and everything. To get used to it will take some time, but you will get used to it with time. It is a best tool, and I would recommend it. I wish Splunk Cloud Platform did not search all of the logs. If you were to search with the primary key of a claim number, it searches with hundreds or millions of similar entities, so it takes a lot of time to search that particular log which I am trying to search. The searching time is a little more. We occasionally face a little bit of server issues, but the customer support is helpful. We lose some time as well in that server downtime.

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."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"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."
"UBA is a great application within Splunk Cloud Platform."
"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 ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions, and we get millions of data points within seconds."
"We have seen a return on investment as we observed a 50 to 60 percent reduction in manual SOC work, which allows freeing staff for higher-value tasks."
"We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't."
"Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."

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

I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement, as we used to raise multiple issues via the process, but they pick them up slowly, and the response times are not as prompt as we would like."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"From my perspective, customization needs to be simplified and I'd like to see a reduction in the cost of the solution."
"To be honest, I don't think it's beginner-friendly. It takes time and multiple meetings to actually understand how to create different types of alerts or how to search for them."
"I think that Splunk Cloud Platform is good, and I rate it seven or eight."
"One improvement I would suggest is in the cost part."
"I think the tool has some scalability issues, especially when used in larger organizations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."
"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 cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
"Splunk is a bit more expensive than some solutions, but customers can derive more value from it due to the features it has."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"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."
