Splunk

High total cost of ownership

Designed decades ago, Splunk’s traditional architecture cannot cost-efficiently handle the high volume of fast-moving telemetry data that today’s cloud and cloud-native applications generate.

Single-tenant architecture and lack of auto-scaling mean customers have to plan for peak capacity, leading to inefficient resource utilization and higher costs.

Splunk customers are responsible for managing infrastructure, data lifecycle, and data tiers, leading to an unnecessary burden on valuable engineering resources.

Replace Splunk at your own pace

Let’s face it: log volumes have been rapidly growing, but budgets haven’t kept pace. Are you sampling, filtering, or dropping logs, or creating tiered storage into warm, cold, or frozen states just to contain costs? Augment your Splunk deployments with Observe to reduce cost while keeping your Splunk experience. Read our solution brief to learn more.
