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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"Splunk Cloud Platform offers exceptional features including quick upgrades, as Splunk Cloud receives the first upgrade for any GA release with rapid support."
"Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted our organization by giving us real-time data whenever we migrate applications from on-premises to the cloud and by providing insights on customer interaction, customer activity, and orders coming in for the application."
"I appreciate the expansion capability of Splunk Cloud Platform, where we can forward any kind of data to the cloud endpoint they provide with no need for maintenance or infrastructure management because they keep the environment very stable and handle any issues through support cases."
"What I like about Splunk Cloud Platform is the easy reading of the dashboards and finding the data, which brought me the biggest benefits."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's visibility into multiple environments offers excellent monitoring capabilities, whether I am using it in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Pricing is too high for Splunk Cloud Platform."
"Sometimes, the technical support case persons are not sufficiently technical; they are not technical enough or not understanding the issues."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"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."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"Pricing for Splunk Cloud Platform is on the higher side, but the setup is very much acceptable, and it is good that observability cloud will be available in a few months."
"Using basic natural language in English instead of writing a regex expression will be helpful."
"Sometimes it can feel slightly slow in what it brings up, but I don't know if a lot of times that's on our end with the data that's getting in."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost makes more sense for organizations that have a large amount of data ranges."
"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
