Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable.""The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

More Mezmo Pros →

"This is a complete log reporting tool.""The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint.""The cloud is very fast.""I like the Cloud monitoring console feature.""I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things.""Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable.""he cloud performance is good.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."

Cons
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.""No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

More Mezmo Cons →

"Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly.""Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting.""It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale.""Support could be improved.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved.""They need to provide more training options.""The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "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."
