Setup Cost

Sigma's pricing is moderate with flexible licensing, though creator licenses may limit wider report access despite eliminating infrastructure costs.

Splunk Cloud Platform is costly for smaller users, but offers feature-rich solutions with flexible licensing for larger enterprises.

The pricing of Sigma is a concern, as it restricts our ability to provide more users with report-creating capabilities due to the high cost of admin or report creator licenses.

Russell Rothstein

CEO at PeerSpot

Once you are in the partnership with Splunk Cloud Platform and with Cisco, you can have good discounts, you can make the deal and discuss, and they are willing to help you as a partner in finding the solution and finding your target.

The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its robustness and ability to ingest logs.

Job Asiimwe

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.

Lead Analytics Consultant at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

Great collaboration with intuitive interface and dynamic visualization capabilities

As we are exploring multiple features in Sigma, I think Sigma can add more functionality. As Power BI gives multiple modeling options in its interface with the query editor, those features can be added in Sigma for intuitiveness or for making the data very clean. From the dashboarding perspective, it performs well. However, from the modeling perspective, it requires more capabilities that can be added in Sigma. The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities. If they add those features in the near future, it would be very helpful for us to implement the same or do the data cleansing part in the Sigma tool itself.

Unified data monitoring has enabled proactive alerts and predictive analysis for daily operations

I don't see any new requirements in terms of improvements for Splunk Cloud Platform at this time. Splunk's dashboarding, reporting, and visualizations are evolving at a larger scale with the new Splunk Dashboard Studio in place. There were some limitations with the classic dashboard where you had to be aware of different HTML, CSS, and custom JavaScript for better visualizations. That's being migrated towards Splunk Dashboard Studio, which is evolving at a great pace, providing similar functionalities. I have not faced any current challenges regarding Splunk Cloud Platform's limitations. I still think, however, that better configuration and customization options for workload management could be enhanced, but that applies to Splunk Enterprise as well. It's just my understanding and what I foresee, but I'm not sure if it will be a priority right now, as even without workload management, a lot can be done, and the product team might have a different roadmap.
