Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Cloud Platform

We used it for logging all data and then feed all that data into some security models and used it as a SIEM.

Pros

  • Incredibly powerful and customizable.
  • Easy to ingest logs.
  • Built in dashboards are good.

Cons

  • Tedious to use at first.
  • Slightly outdated UI.
  • Sometimes slow.
  • Hard to use, training takes a while.
  • Pricey for what you get.
  • Saves a lot of time when doing investigations.
Hard to use at first. Lots of research and training needed on how to use.
Best customization. Vendor agnostic
