Considered Both Products	Splunk Cloud Platform Verified User Contributor Chose Splunk Cloud Platform FortiAnalyzer more focus on security while Splunk Cloud Platform integrates with all infrastructure products and not does it do security but do well with basic event correlation. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Search Processing Language really is a game changer for writing easy-to-understand and maintainable queries on your data base logs. Once understood, setting up and validating a query can be done in no time- which leaves us the option to focus on more monitoring and improved … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Splunk Cloud Platform We selected Splunk Cloud due to the simplicity to use and get data in. We found that Splunk Cloud gives a unified simple searching and dashboarding interface which can be used to search and visualise data from multiple systems with ease. Incentivized Helpful? MS Michael Spence Senior Network Engineer Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Microsoft Dynamics is far more complex and far more costly to implement and configure in comparison to Splunk. It can be useful for integrations into existing Microsoft databases. Grafana is quick and easy to deploy and configure. However, it lacks the scale required for an … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Splunk currently has the most integrations with log sources and tools. Easiest platform to fully onboard new sources, parse and search. Incentivized Helpful? Fraser Clark Network Engineer Chose Splunk Cloud Platform All the products in this category do log aggregation very well, however the winning factor was that we have experience with Splunk already and this has proved invaluable as Splunk has a steep learning curve. Especially the Splunk administration part of the tool as that is a … Incentivized Helpful? David Hillier Senior Account Executive Chose Splunk Cloud Platform I have selected Splunk Cloud because Sumo Logic is blown away by Splunk Cloud. It's a night and day difference. My experience with Splunk Cloud is faster and more reliable. It consists of more features than Sumo Logic. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Depends on company org and structure, but it's a good solution. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Splunk Cloud Platform I don't have an opinion on this, but I do like Splunk a lot. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Splunk Cloud Platform I feel that the alternatives are great products and they are also things we use in our own monitoring in addition to Splunk. However, when it comes to finding things in the data as opposed to just looks for trends the competition just doesn't even come close. Splunk has become … Incentivized Helpful? Joseph Sweet Strategic Sourcing Manager Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Splunk Cloud blows Sumo Logic out of the water. The experience is night and day. We went from several highly stressed IT security professionals who were unsure if the data they were getting was valuable, to very happy IT security professionals who can now be more proactive and … Incentivized Helpful? Manan Bhatt Sr. SRE Chose Splunk Cloud Platform I believe there is no existing competitor of Splunk and the way Splunk Cloud provides support is way better than all the other competitors. No one can beat Splunk Cloud!! Incentivized Helpful? KS Kevin Smith Software Engineer Chose Splunk Cloud Platform My company used to use Loggly, and while I can't speak to the specifics of why we switched to Splunk, I do know that Splunk seems faster and has more features than Loggly. On the other hand, I've used Splunk much more than I used Loggly when we had it before, so my view could … Incentivized Helpful? Chase Palmer, CISSP Security Engineer II Chose Splunk Cloud Platform Other solutions weren't able to consume the volume of logs that we were producing on a daily basis. Searching was difficult because of proprietary or simply confusing search mechanisms. Splunk simplified the searching by using regular expressions. Although the cost of Splunk … Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Kitchens Technical Project Analyst III Chose Splunk Cloud Platform I have used several Solar Winds tools in the past to monitor and track similar things. Both tools are comparable in their performance. Each one has it's own set of challenges when getting set up for the first time as well as a learning curve to get comfortable with usage.

User Testimonials
	Splunk Cloud Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco 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. Incentivized MS Michael Spence Senior Network Engineer Read full review
Pros	Cisco This SIEM consolidates multiple data points and offers several features and benefits, creating custom dashboards and managing alert workflows. Splunk Cloud provides a simple way to have a central monitoring and security solution. Though it does not have a huge learning curve, you should spend some time learning the basics. Splunk Cloud enables me to create and schedule statistical reports on network use for Management. Incentivized David Hillier Senior Account Executive Read full review
Cons	Cisco The SPL programming language that the queries are built in is not very intuitive. There should be a better repository of pre-built queries for what I would think of as common Active Directory usage monitoring. I would like to see more free training/familiarization information made available. Incentivized Jeff Kitchens Technical Project Analyst III Read full review
Usability	Cisco Once you hit a certain threshold of automated processes via whatever tool you are choosing (or multiple tools), you really cannot go around a monitoring solution like Splunk Cloud Platform. I have seen many efforts to automate monitoring inside of the automation tools themselve, which does not only block resources but you cannot monitor a system by the system itself. Splunk Cloud Platform has really made us clear about that. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Cisco Splunk Cloud support is sorely lacking unfortunately. The portal where you submit tickets is not very good and is lacking polish. Tickets are left for days without any updates and when chased it is only sometimes you get a reply back. I get the feeling the support team are very understaffed and have far too much going on. From what I know, Splunk is aware of this and seem to be trying to remedy it. Incentivized Fraser Clark Network Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco Splunk Cloud blows Sumo Logic out of the water. The experience is night and day. We went from several highly stressed IT security professionals who were unsure if the data they were getting was valuable, to very happy IT security professionals who can now be more proactive and get all the information they need.

Return on Investment	Cisco End-end visibility across your departmental silos Strengthen the overall global monitoring posture Move from Reactive to Proactive Monitoring Highly secure environment at your finger-tips Takes you away from managing infrastructure/administration, allows saving time & money. Reduce the overall TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) Incentivized Manan Bhatt Sr. SRE Read full review
