Financial / IT Director at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Using Splunk Cloud Platform saves us time because previously we took two to three hours troubleshooting any problem, but now we get to know which particular area of the API is throwing an error and everything."
"Previously when in our company, we had logs everywhere on multiple systems, it was a really big pain for me trying to find what I wanted. Now that it is all aggregated and centralized in one place with one interface, it is just a lot easier to get the information that I need."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions, and we get millions of data points within seconds."
"Splunk Cloud Platform has been monumental in assisting us with our audit and compliance requirements, as we have been able to develop self-serving dashboards showing items such as Crown Jewels or PCI in-scope systems, allowing us to quickly see at a glance via these dashboards their coverage, such as EDRs in place, FIM enabled, vulnerability management picture, and so on, allowing us to quickly attest to our PCI assets following guidelines."
"Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted my organization because earlier we were an on-premise enterprise having issues with availability and management, and the cloud platform has made availability much better, and customers love the experience as it is very quick and responsive."
"Overall, I find that Splunk is pretty good; it is a very mature product and I can see that compared to when I used it five years ago as an end-user, they have been improving in every way."
"What I appreciate about Splunk Cloud Platform is that observability is strong, and we can have real-time data with fast time to value."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
 

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"Using basic natural language in English instead of writing a regex expression will be helpful."
"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"Other tools have been working on their real-time alerting much better than Splunk Cloud Platform."
"I believe there are a few areas of Splunk Cloud Platform that have room for improvement, particularly in user customization and documentation clarity."
"The documentation available could be improved as there is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"Recently, we got stuck somewhere in an error, but because of the less documentation available in ChatGPT or in any LLM, we had to go through every documentation and then we got the result."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I know that Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive product."
"It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."
"I do not know what that is anymore. I have not been involved with that for a couple of years, but I know we are paying a lot."
"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."
"The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."
"Splunk Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
