Splunk Enterprise Platform can seem a bit costly compared to their five-year plans. There's a need to provide options, such as offering a free license for up to ten GB of data or a limited-time test and development license at no cost. For instance, if a company purchases a one-year product license, it could receive additional test and development licenses for free, up to a certain data limit. While there would naturally be some restrictions, such as limitations on certain features or functionalities, offering these options could encourage more people to adopt Splunk for their needs. Many individuals and stakeholders hesitate due to Splunk's perceived high costs when considering the additional expenses for enterprise support, operational support, and device licenses. Introducing more flexible licensing options could alleviate these concerns and attract more users to the platform, benefiting both Splunk and its customers.
If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue. It can be perceived as expensive, especially for organizations dealing with large volumes of data, such as in the banking sector, where numerous logs are generated every second. While other tools are available at lower costs, some teams may consider open-source or lower-cost alternatives, especially if they have funding constraints.
The platform is too expensive for small businesses. If you choose the free plan, it only has 15 GB of data per day, and it may not be enough to run a small business. You need to pay a subscription based on data ingestion, and that's very expensive. Splunk should focus more on delivering something for small businesses and entrepreneurs. I give the pricing a three or four out of ten. Although the product is pricey, it's truly magnificent.
You must buy a license with the on-prem version, usually through an intermediary. In France, it's Accenture. There are cloud solutions where Splunk handles the servers and patching directly, and you just use the solution. The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten. Though the solution is expensive, it depends on which company purchases the product.
