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.
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • Splunk Cloud generally lags behind its competitors. Enterprise versions are always one version behind those available to consumers.
  • It is expensive as compared to its competitors. They should come up with cost-effective prices.
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!

  • Efficient support.
Alternatives Considered
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.

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 Splunkbase apps 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.
Pros
  • With Splunk Cloud you get the advantage of moving from POC to Production in a matter of days rather than in months allowing the Business to gain a lot.
  • Takes you away from managing infrastructure/administration, allows saving time & money. Reduce the overall TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
  • Move from Reactive to Proactive Monitoring
  • Highly secure environment at your finger-tips
Cons
  • Splunk Cloud support is increasing a lot now a days and I see no cons other than the price factor to the other compared products. Overall Splunk Cloud is a very good product all together.
  • I can see that Splunk Cloud can still improve in the form of SLA.
  • Splunk Cloud generally lags behind the available Splunk upgrades. They are always one version behind the one available for enterprise.
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.
