Cost-efficient, good analytics, and stable

Since our application is hosted in the cloud, there is no need for installation. I can simply access the portal and navigate to App Insights for easy access. I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. The deployment took approximately 24 hours to complete due to the large amount of data that had to be transferred. We had about fifteen people involved in the configuration, with two main people taking the lead and the rest on standby in case something happened.

AI-driven analytics significantly enhance operational decision-making

I am currently working with the solution, but I need to know from which NNTT. The interface is okay; its interface is good, and user interface is good. I would recommend Splunk Cloud Platform to other users and organizations because it adds value to the organization; you can do different things with it because it's a pure analytical tool, not only a SIEM tool. I am mostly focused on Splunk Cloud Platform because I chose this vendor due to the feature set that was offered by Splunk Cloud Platform; it was not being offered by any other vendor. Splunk Cloud Platform is the vendor I am referring to, not NNTT. Maintenance for Splunk Cloud Platform has been done manually, not automatically. Usually, one person takes part in maintenance. Regarding the number of users for Splunk Cloud Platform, it involves discussing the number of organizations or the number of people working in those organizations. In general, I would rate Splunk Cloud Platform a nine.

Cons

"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."

"The expensive nature of the product is an area of concern that needs to be considered for improvement."

"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."

"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."

"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."

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

"The disadvantage of Splunk Cloud Platform is that its integration process should be improved."

"I would love to be able to manage my own apps."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."

"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."

"Currently, we have the ingest-based license. They are offering SVC-based licenses as well, but I am not a fan of SVC-based licensing. At the end of the day, I want to predict my budget and how much I am going to pay to the vendor so that I can plan my yearly budget."

"There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."

"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."

"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented it."

"As far as the pricing goes, it was what was expected. It is a premium product. There were no surprises there."

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

"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
