We use Splunk Cloud to aggregate logs from various Cloud and on-premise applications and services into a single place for Security and IT Operations monitoring. This allows us to focus on a single platform and remove duplication of costs, training, data onboarding etc. We have alerts that are sent directly to operations teams and dashboards available for wallboards and aggregate data.
Pros
Easy to get data in
Rich user experience
Wide range of Splunk & Community add-ons
Cons
Unable to download configuration changes easily

Splunk Cloud is suitable for a range of scenarios and is outstanding in Security monitoring use-cases. Having the data in Splunk Cloud easily opens up the possibility to implement IT Ops monitoring using the same data, however Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring might be a better IT Ops tool if the data is not already in Splunk Cloud.
Splunk Cloud is one of the advanced and reliable platforms. It has efficient customer support which is playing an important role in giving great services. It is being used by me for the last year in our organization. It has helped me a lot in security information and event management. It provides me the real-time analysis. Using it, I create easy-to-follow dashboards that I can easily share with your users. The usability of the product is
another amazing reason why I am using the product. It is very fast and reliable to use. It is very easy to create
customizable dashboards for scheduling your events, and also you do not have to
learn a lot for using them.
Pros
This SIEM consolidates multiple data points and offers several features and benefits, creating custom dashboards and managing alert workflows.
Splunk Cloud provides a simple way to have a central monitoring and security solution. Though it does not have a huge learning curve, you should spend some time learning the basics.
Splunk Cloud enables me to create and schedule statistical reports on network use for Management.
Cons
Splunk Cloud generally lags behind its competitors. Enterprise versions are always one version behind those available to consumers.
It is expensive as compared to its competitors. They should come up with cost-effective prices.

I will highly recommend this software because using Splunk
Cloud has helped us become more proactive about handling our security concerns
and better manage our environment. It is one of the finest security software
that is easy to use and also provides analytics. It has excellent features like
creating dashboard security and managing features etc. So you must give it a try once!
We use Splunk to centralize and consume all of our server logs, and various other logs, to monitor for interruptions in service, anomalous activity, and other security-related events. Splunk is primarily used by our DevOps and Security teams. Splunk solved an issue of being able to easily and effectively search hundreds of thousands of log entries in an easy to consume format.
Pros
Splunk is extremely versatile and can consume just about any kind of log out there.
Splunk's search function is very powerful, and allows for some very complex search criteria. Narrowing and/or expanding search results is as simple as a click of the mouse.
There are many different apps/plugins that can be added to Splunk that provide built-in reporting and alerting on certain kinds of events, meaning you don't have to be an expert to use Splunk.
Cons
There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to initially use it.
When SAML is set up, there is no apparent way to log out.

Splunk is not cheap, so Splunk only makes sense for businesses where there are hundreds of thousands of logs a minute, or where manual processes or open source alternatives can't keep up. You will need to have a dedicated person or two in order to configure and manage Splunk on a very regular business, otherwise, you won't be able to reap the full benefits that Splunk can offer.
Splunk is used by just about every person in our company, from sales, to support, and from dev to operations. It has been adopted at all levels of our organization. We use Splunk to monitor build deployments, support tickets but most especially for operations and finding problems with servers and systems. We have many TVs setup in our Network Operations Center showing various aspects of our infrastructure. Splunk cloud is simply where our data is stored and searched.
Pros
Excellent tool for correlating logs from hundreds of servers and digging into events for a specific time period.
Based on issues found Splunk allows for simple and complex monitoring to alert when the same event or problem is seen again.
Advanced dashboard tools allow for unique and creative perspectives on how to display data in ways relevant to each department in our organization.
Cons
Some of their more advanced features, like ITSI, Machine Learning, or Security Analytics, can be very challenging to setup and configure.
Splunk Cloud support has been a challenge in the past. They are getting better, but they have had problems responding in a timely manner to issues.
These are only some minor observations of things I have had to deal with. In general, Splunk is a solid product that is fantastic to use.

Looking for the needle in the haystack is what Splunk excels at. When you have 300 servers all producing logs you need to look at it can be a very daunting task. Splunk allows you to add all of these logs into a central repository to search across all systems. It also helps you find how many times an error is happening and how widespread it is very quickly. I have yet to find an area where Splunk cannot help with searching and obtaining meaningful data from servers and network equipment.
