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

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

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

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

"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."

"Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving"

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

"The product's deployment phase was easy."

"It is a stable product."

"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."

"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."

"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."

"Alerts are a huge benefit because we can customize them to each business unit's needs."

More Splunk Cloud Platform pros

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."

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

"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."

"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."

"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."

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

"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly."

"First-time users may struggle with the user interface. When I first used Splunk, I entered my username and password. After that, we get a dashboard on the left side with apps. At the top, you can click the gear icon to view the settings. Within those settings, there's a distributed console option with several settings. It's a bit overwhelming for a beginner. The user knows what they want and can search for it in the search bar. If I see several apps, my first instinct is to scroll down to find the app, or perhaps you will find that search and report. That bugged me when I was learning."

"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."

"The return on investment with Splunk Cloud Platform has been poor. There is a significant possibility we will be replacing it in the next quarter or two."

"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The cost makes more sense for organizations that have a large amount of data ranges."

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

"The price for Splunk Cloud Platform is the same as our maintenance costs for Splunk Enterprise on-premises."

"The certifications are costly."

"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."

"Splunk Cloud Platform is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it offers a wider range of features."

"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."
