We're a multinational and have Splunk in the UK and US. We have 2,000 employees, and 2,000 endpoints, at the employee level. We also have around 12,000 production endpoints and it runs across a multi-cloud hybrid that includes GCP and AWS. It also has a tiny on-prem footprint.
You can horizontally scale someone instantly. I've never been afraid we would exceed horizontal requirements.

It is awesome. When we first purchased Splunk Cloud, our ingest rate was about one terabyte or one and a half terabyte. We moved from the ingest-based license to the workload-based license three or four years ago, and now, we ingest about 10 to 12 terabytes. It is handling that just fine as if nothing has changed.

While we work with a limited number of clients, typically five to six, they are spread across various locations, including the US and Pakistan.

The scalability is pretty easy. They recently enabled it to be able to go into a search head cluster. Previously, the only way to install this was on its own dedicated search and it could not be connected to a cluster. Over the last four or five years, they have been pushing harder and harder for clustering everything up for shared resources. Enterprise Security is one of the few apps where you were not allowed to do that. Having scalability with the search head cluster is nice, and it is one thing I am looking at implementing in the future.

I know other folks in the higher ed. space that are running petabyte size instances with Splunk. So I would have to say it scales very well just from talking to the folks in my market silo.
View full review »The scalability is perfectly fine. It's very awesome compared to all the other tools, as easily we can integrate with the log forwarding modules and the collector management appliances or modules. That aspect won't be a problem.
If you look at the SIEM as a market today, Splunk is expensive compared to other competitive products. I'm also into the SIEM evaluation in my current role. I've seen that there are many tools are coming up in the last one and half years. I have also seen many other mature tools that are available now. If you compare next-gen SIEM tools compared to the Splunk, it's expensive. Therefore, it's possible we may not use this in the future or expand on current usage.

reviewer2238939
Lead Solutions Architect at a government with 10,001+ employees
We are only on-prem so we do manual scaling. We don't have the elasticity that we would have in the cloud which limited us. Justifiably, in order to scale up the platform, we would have to go through procurements and more hardware, which was not an option. So we were limited, and we knew that. We had done pilots and buildout but a hardware refresh cycle was coming up, we had to justify whether or not it was in the cards.
View full review »I'm not sure about scalability but to my thinking, it's not very scalable. I know that it's probably expensive because it relies a lot on importing log files from all of the systems. One of the issues with respect to scalability is that there's never enough storage. Also, the more storage you have, the more systems you need to manage all the log files.
Splunk is open for all of the users in the company. We might have 1,000 IT personnel that could access it, although I'm not sure how many people actually use it. I estimate that there are perhaps 200 active users.

Its scalability is excellent. Its users are mostly on the backside. I know there are a lot of opportunities to allow developers and engineers to access Splunk for doing different things, but we use it purely for information assurance and system monitoring. So, our engineers and IA professionals are the only ones who access Splunk. We have a couple of them, but it supports thousands of users.
We started with Splunk Light, and now, we're using Splunk Enterprise across most of our projects. It is being used extensively. It is our primary SIEM product. I'm sure its usage will increase, but that's managed at a much higher level. The company has an agreement with Splunk on how our licensing model is established.
View full review »In terms of the cloud, scalability is very straightforward. It's just about as expansive as we want to go. When it comes to an on-premise deployment, there might be some scalability limitations. We've found we just have to cut hard on the resources as it does a lot of processing. Whereas the cloud is easy and has very little limitation, I'd advise others that on-premise may have some difficulties.
On-premises, it's definitely on the customer to ensure they have the right plates. If they're concerned and they need 100% scalability, it's best to be on the cloud.

When we were trying to implement an enterprise solution on-premise, we had scaling issues. It was very difficult to search the data retention beyond a few days. A lot of talent was given to the ability to go into AWS and scale with our need.

Director General de España at a cloud provider with 51-200 employees
Its scalability is very good. We work with this platform for our own services. We use Splunk extensively, and we also offer it to our clients. We plan to increase its usage.
Our company has three offices. We have offices in Spain, Columbia, and Mexico. We have around 100 people, and about 50 people are working with Splunk. They all are focused on cyber security. They are security engineers or security specialists.

One of the key benefits and differences with this software is that the customer can scale up as much as they need to. Our largest Splunk customer is using between three and four petabytes of data per day.

The scalability is good. It can be added on-demand in increments of one gigabyte or ten gigabytes. It's a per-gigabyte license, and you can add whatever you need at the time.
Our projects are sized per our current IT infrastructure.
Splunk is used by 10 of our customers.

CSSP Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The solution is extremely scalable. We probably have about five or six users, so all our system administrators use it, they're the ones that implement it. Right now, just the CIO, the CTO, and there's a ISSM who has access. There are plans to add more people once we fully implement the Enterprise Security solution. We have admins responsible for maintenance.

Software Engineer at Tableau Software
It seems like it scales well. We have hundreds of production and development environments, and we are searching on all of them. Therefore, it seems like the scale is good.
We have hundreds of production environments, and each production environment has ten to 20 host machines. Each production environment can manage tens of thousands of customers.
Maybe going to AWS and scaling it better would be more cost-effective for our company. However, I am not involved in those decisions.

Audit Remideation/Financial Manager at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The solution seems to be very adaptable, and if not, we'll figure it out what to do in the next couple of years when the program has developed more, and the general capabilities become apparent.
It is a log parsing tool, so if you take any type of log, operational or financial or security logs, and you put it in there, hopefully, we will find out that a log is a log, and you just create your events and you get the output that you want. Therefore, I don't foresee an issue with scalability per se.
We didn’t have any scalability issues.

I'm not sure. I do not really throw a lot of data in it, but it has been authenticated very nicely. It manages indexes and all of these things very nicely. I have not been privy to any production systems where you have millions of lines of log coming in every second. It works very well for the data that I have. It should be able to handle a lot of data. That's the whole purpose of it, and that's why Splunk has become so popular. It is an enterprise monitoring tool, and a lot of customers have Splunk in their ecosystem.
View full review »It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solution would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make.
