Financial / IT Director at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes
Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Splunk helped reduce our mean time to resolve by around 60%."
"Improved security has been achieved because a lot of security logs are ingested to Splunk Cloud Platform, where they are being used to identify security vulnerabilities and checkpoints."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"Splunk Cloud Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing the number of customers who are in longer outages because we are able to identify the problem sooner through Splunk Cloud Platform."
"The log analysis features of Splunk Cloud have been the most valuable to me."
"As a certified Splunk Architect, I consider Splunk the best solution when comparing it with competitors including Elastic, Sumo Logic, Datadog, and Microsoft."
"For monitoring, it is a very good cloud, and the platform's app ecosystem is very easy to use even in the initial starting phase, supporting responsibilities including real-time alert monitoring and event correlation."
"The main positive impact of Splunk Cloud Platform on my organization is in terms of cost and infrastructure, allowing us to provide all integrations and analysis directly from the cloud instead of depending on multiple environments."
 

Cons

"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"From my perspective, customization needs to be simplified and I'd like to see a reduction in the cost of the solution."
"Sometimes, the support team may not be fully knowledgeable about the challenge you face, but through their internal escalation structure, they manage to find viable solutions sooner or later or provide updates on when issues will be fixed."
"In Splunk Cloud Platform particularly, there is nothing specific that I would like to see improved or enhanced, but the cost is currently very high."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"The documentation available could be improved as there is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"One area that has room for improvement in Splunk Cloud Platform is support."
"There is something that they say will be improved, and I am still waiting for it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
"The price is something that people complain about."
"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."
"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's pricing is a little on the higher end."
"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."
"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."
