Splunk Cloud Platform Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With so many disparate systems finding a single fault point within all the interconnected applications is very difficult. Splunk enables us to centrally locate all logs and metrics from the full stack of systems - including network, identity, cyber, application, database, etc etc. AND THEN correlate all this information into meaningful dashboards that tell stories about the data and state of our environments.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk is excellent when all your data is in one location. Its ability to correlate all that data is intuitive (once the hurdle of learning the query language is overcome). It is also easy to standardize the presentation of information to the company. When data is siloed/standalone, other systems can be cheaper and faster to implement.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Splunk Cloud to aggregate logs from various Cloud and on-premise applications and services into a single place for Security and IT Operations monitoring. This allows us to focus on a single platform and remove duplication of costs, training, data onboarding etc. We have alerts that are sent directly to operations teams and dashboards available for wallboards and aggregate data.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud is suitable for a range of scenarios and is outstanding in Security monitoring use-cases. Having the data in Splunk Cloud easily opens up the possibility to implement IT Ops monitoring using the same data, however Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring might be a better IT Ops tool if the data is not already in Splunk Cloud.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Log aggregation, enterprise security - alerts and detections off of log events for corporate infrastructure. Correlation searches off of specific events, application troubleshooting, and any other details that you can find in our log sources.

Using Splunk Cloud simplifies the solution as we do not have to maintain and manage infrastructure.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best platform for ingesting, parsing, and searching for logs. Other recent promises of new functionality that is not ready yet.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is one of the advanced and reliable platforms. It has efficient customer support which is playing an important role in giving great services. It is being used by me for the last year in our organization. It has helped me a lot in security information and event management. It provides me the real-time analysis. Using it, I create easy-to-follow dashboards that I can easily share with your users. The usability of the product is

another amazing reason why I am using the product. It is very fast and reliable to use. It is very easy to create

customizable dashboards for scheduling your events, and also you do not have to

learn a lot for using them.

Likelihood to Recommend

I will highly recommend this software because using Splunk

Cloud has helped us become more proactive about handling our security concerns

and better manage our environment. It is one of the finest security software

that is easy to use and also provides analytics. It has excellent features like

creating dashboard security and managing features etc. So you must give it a try once!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is being used by our own department. We use it mainly to aggregate logs and metrics. We also create different dashboards to display our service running status.

Since we have multiple environments, it's very convenient to stream all logs/metrics into Splunk Cloud, and see them from one centralized place.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud is good for application monitoring/alerting, data analysis and root cause analysis. For organizations that would like use Splunk but do not want to hire someone to operate or maintain it, this is the best solution.

From a cost perspective, it's not the cheapest one in the market.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is used to provide quick and easy access to important data. This includes metrics about their business, the use of our services, revenue, and errors. Several departments throughout the organization use the data and dashboards available in Splunk.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you want to see the data instead of dig for it, Splunk is helpful for providing the visualizations that speak to the data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Splunk for a part of the business. More specifically, for the less critical machines. For the critical ones, we have a big SIEM with limited licenses. Having Splunk for the rest of the environment does save some money, and they do not need the same management as the critical ones.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud is easy to use for having a central Security and monitoring solution. It does not have a huge learning curve, though you should spend some time to learn the basics.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is used by the IT department for the majority of the devices that can produce logs. It was initially purchased as a syslog aggregate but has evolved into much more than that now. It addresses the question of log retention and security investigation. It will eventually be expanded to be used across the wider business.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud is suited for organisations that have a lot of data from many different data sources and you would like them to be in one tool. It's excellent for splitting data and searching through the different indexes of data.

If you only have one data source (syslog from network devices for example) I would say it is less appropriate and would be overkill.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is being used by our IT security operation and our DevOps team. It is being used similarly to a SIEM for aggregating log data and running analysis on it for generating alerts. It replaced Sumo Logic which was producing too many poor alerts and was not as robust of a solution. It supports our SOC well, and it makes our security team's job much easier. We are also using it in DevOps as a pilot for APM.

Likelihood to Recommend

Splunk Cloud has been great for our security environment and helping us becoming more proactive at addressing security concerns. For us, it has great transparency in terms of cost and allows for good scalability as we right-size our environment. It is great for developing easy to follow dashboards that you can share across your user environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Splunk Cloud is being used by our department. It solved many business problem as it delivers Splunk-as-a-Service hosted securely on the public cloud. With this cloud-ready service, one can enjoy all of Splunk Enterprise features without worrying about hosting the infrastructure and without paying the upfront Splunk licensing cost. Splunk Cloud supports all <a title="Link: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/" href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Splunkbase apps</a> including Premium applications (e.g. Enterprise Security, ITSI, etc.) with pre-packaged searches, dashboards, and reports to create the right story from the data with the power of self-serviceability.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very well suited for many business use cases where security, performance, and support are the top-most priority, along with the normal use case of Splunk. One would get very good support if the company is using Splunk Cloud and can solve many business problems like seamlessly allowing end users to store, search, analyze and visualize data from different sources of one’s business or IT infrastructure. Splunk Cloud follows the state-of-the-art cloud ready deployment strategies in line with continuous integration/deployment pipeline which is designed for high availability, efficient change management, and robust architecture.

One shouldn't use Splunk Cloud for learning or testing purpose. Such things can be done or fulfilled by Splunk Enterprise as well and would be way cheaper then Splunk Cloud.
