Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Cloud

With so many disparate systems finding a single fault point within all the interconnected applications is very difficult. Splunk enables us to centrally locate all logs and metrics from the full stack of systems - including network, identity, cyber, application, database, etc etc. AND THEN correlate all this information into meaningful dashboards that tell stories about the data and state of our environments.

Pros

  • Dashboarding
  • Data Selection and Processing.
  • Ingestion Techniques.

Cons

  • Easier Plugin Creation.
  • Free Tier Cloud.
  • Query Language Builder.
  • Helps us meet Government Regulations.
  • Allows us to simplify data for Upper Management.
  • Allows us to collect data from all systems.
Microsoft Dynamics is far more complex and far more costly to implement and configure in comparison to Splunk. It can be useful for integrations into existing Microsoft databases. Grafana is quick and easy to deploy and configure. However, it lacks the scale required for an enterprise of our size. It is great for smaller test cases.

Do you think Splunk Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Splunk Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Splunk Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Splunk Cloud again?

Yes

Splunk is excellent when all your data is in one location. Its ability to correlate all that data is intuitive (once the hurdle of learning the query language is overcome). It is also easy to standardize the presentation of information to the company. When data is siloed/standalone, other systems can be cheaper and faster to implement.
