Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Cloud Platform

Splunk Cloud Platform is our near-real-time monitoring machine for observation of more than 200 automated systems. It indicates faulted processes, inefficiencies in operations and sends out webhook pings to our developers to fix these. Without Splunk Cloud Platform‘s search pricessing capabilities, we would never be able to cover all systems executions, screen logs for systematic errors and give direct advise on the fix.

Pros

  • Search processing
  • Indexing of fields (automatic and custom)
  • Performance

Cons

  • Debugging tools
  • Implementation of AI components
  • Third-party integrations
  • Saved a lot of time on maintenance / observation
  • Professionalization of automation services
  • Improved reliance and time to fix
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.
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 services. We have no other tools that utilizes data this efficiently

Do you think Splunk Cloud Platform delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Splunk Cloud Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did Splunk Cloud Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Splunk Cloud Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Splunk Cloud Platform again?

Yes

Splunk Cloud Platform is a great tool but requires quite some training to get used to it. It‘s proprietary search processing language is neat for easy search queries but in my opinion lacks the option to debug/get notified of syntax errors. What would be great is an in-built studio that gives advise on query optimization.
