I have selected Splunk Cloud because Sumo Logic is blown away by Splunk Cloud. It's a night and day difference. My experience with Splunk Cloud is faster and more reliable. It consists of more features than Sumo Logic.

All the products in this category do log aggregation very well, however the winning factor was that we have experience with Splunk already and this has proved invaluable as Splunk has a steep learning curve. Especially the Splunk administration part of the tool as that is a …

Splunk Cloud blows Sumo Logic out of the water. The experience is night and day. We went from several highly stressed IT security professionals who were unsure if the data they were getting was valuable, to very happy IT security professionals who can now be more proactive and …

My company used to use Loggly, and while I can't speak to the specifics of why we switched to Splunk, I do know that Splunk seems faster and has more features than Loggly. On the other hand, I've used Splunk much more than I used Loggly when we had it before, so my view could …

Other solutions weren't able to consume the volume of logs that we were producing on a daily basis. Searching was difficult because of proprietary or simply confusing search mechanisms. Splunk simplified the searching by using regular expressions. Although the cost of Splunk …

I have used several Solar Winds tools in the past to monitor and track similar things. Both tools are comparable in their performance. Each one has it's own set of challenges when getting set up for the first time as well as a learning curve to get comfortable with usage.

Splunk is excellent when all your data is in one location. Its ability to correlate all that data is intuitive (once the hurdle of learning the query language is overcome). It is also easy to standardize the presentation of information to the company. When data is siloed/standalone, other systems can be cheaper and faster to implement.

Splunk Cloud support is sorely lacking unfortunately. The portal where you submit tickets is not very good and is lacking polish. Tickets are left for days without any updates and when chased it is only sometimes you get a reply back. I get the feeling the support team are very understaffed and have far too much going on. From what I know, Splunk is aware of this and seem to be trying to remedy it.
