## Recommendation

In other words, Splunk Observability Cloud is ideal for large enterprises already running Splunk for security who want unified security + observability data in one platform. Best if you can absorb quote-based procurement and have Cisco as a strategic vendor.

## Alternative to consider

Transparent list pricing without a sales call? Datadog, New Relic, Honeycomb, or OpenObserve. Open-source usage-based? Grafana Cloud. Zero base? Dash0. Annual commit + AI root-cause? Dynatrace. Errors-first? Sentry.
