We performed a comparison between Splunk Cloud Platform and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"I like the fact that we do not have to maintain all the cloud infrastructure. That is probably the main thing about the Splunk Cloud Platform."
"Its monitoring is completely automated."
"he cloud performance is good."
"It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"I like the interface."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS."
"There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."
"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."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
