Why Elastic instead of Splunk?

Business units within the globally branded company were pushing for a switch to Elastic to reduce overall logging costs and replace existing security infrastructure.

  • Reduced costs. Increased ingest. With the switch to Elastic, the company could explore all of their data without worrying about a ~$150,000 per TB overage charge from Splunk.
  • Reduced MTTK. Increased performance and security. The company has reduced issue investigation and mitigation times, leading to better application health and performance while also strengthening security protocols across the enterprise.
  • Reduced complexity. Increased agility. By standardizing observability and security with Elastic, the company has simplified operations, provided a single holistic view of system health and security, and even rolled out additional Elastic features to solve organizational enterprise search needs.
