Room For Improvement

Users seek improved interface, documentation, AI enhancements, integration, customization, data handling, notification features, and intuitive design in Coralogix.
Splunk Cloud Platform faces high costs, complexity, scalability issues, challenging integration, outdated UI, and slow support, needing better documentation.
We require some form of grouping or categorization of logs to identify them better.
SDE II at Nutanix
Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions.

Data Security Intern at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
In terms of enhancement for Splunk Cloud Platform, I would say if we could create add-ons or if we get the capability to build add-ons directly through cloud, not talking about the add-on builder framework, but something editor-like where we will directly edit our conf files from any specific app or TA provided by Splunk Cloud Platform itself.
Splunk Engineer at Data Elicit Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Splunk Cloud Platform needs improvement in its security offerings, specifically in cybersecurity.
Sr Manager at Continued
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find Coralogix pricing high but manageable with easy setup, starting at $400 monthly, monitoring is essential.
Splunk Cloud Platform is valued for its features and efficiency but considered expensive, especially for smaller organizations.
Despite the expense, I believe it is worth the money to have Coralogix as a tool.

Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage.
Engineering Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
It is charged based on what we store.

Innovation Service Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
When it comes to the cost of Splunk Cloud Platform, I would rate it a five from one to ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.

Valuable Features

Coralogix excels with its user-friendly interface, AI insights, seamless integration, and flexible, efficient log and error management.
Splunk Cloud Platform offers scalable real-time analytics, easy integration, and enhances efficiency with automated alerts and centralized visibility.
I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible.
Presales Engineer at Crayon AS
Coralogix has positively impacted our organization by providing us with a clearer data flow, which allows us to analyze data better and find errors easier using the smart logs it offers.

Out of real-time analytics, cost-efficient storage, and AI-powered insights, the most valuable for my team has been the cost-efficient storage.
Software Developer at Styx Global
The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs.
Sr Manager at Continued
The search capability utilizes the same compute assigned, and compared to on-premises, it is very efficient and fast because on-premises we had fixed compute assigned with limits set for searching per role or application.
Senior Software Engineer at WorldPay US
The platform's alerting mechanism is valuable, as there is software that makes alarms in case of attacks.

Naveenkumar Lakshman - PeerSpot reviewer
Presales Engineer at Crayon AS
Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time
One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes
Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.
