Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is analytics."

More AppInsights Pros →

"Dashboards and alerting are the most valuable features. The dashboards let us see how the system looks in terms of anomalies, and the alerts trigger us to go and look at what possible problems are happening.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup.""The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint.""In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions.""The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based.""Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""This is a complete log reporting tool."

Cons
"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."

More AppInsights Cons →

"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful.""Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting.""Splunk currently manages the components, which restricts our ability to access them directly.""When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required.""The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use.""The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good.""Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
  • More AppInsights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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 licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
