Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Enterprise
Splunk Light is being used by our Operational and Maintenance team for transaction logging and event monitoring. It was the right solution for our organization since our IT internal policy stipulates that any solution which interacts with our subscriber's activity data must be deployed on-premise. Moreover, since we only have a handful of O&M team, Splunk Light is a lot more convenient to deploy and manage.
Pros
- Splunk Light is perfect for standalone on-premise deployment.
- Mainly works well for a small team
Cons
- Scalability might be an issue
- A small limit on the number of the user also poses a challenge for large team collaboration.
- The procurement process was easier because the low cost of the license was easier to justify.
- Helps a lot on 'Slicing and Dicing' logs data to retrieve insight promptly.
Splunk Light is lighter and less flexible compared to Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise. However, it is also the most effective option for new or small organizations with a tight budget. Both Splunk Light and Splunk Enterprise are deployed on-premise while Splunk Cloud, as the name suggests, deployed on-cloud. In terms of Scalability and flexibility, Splunk Light also trailing at the last place, compared to Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud.
