Unified cloud-native platform
Get real-time insights from Sumo Logic’s single, unified cloud-native platform across all your DevOps and SecOps use cases. Splunk consists of legacy and multiple (5+) siloed products for observability and security, escalating the cost and complexity of Splunk deployments. | Sumo Logic | Splunk |

Dynamic scalability
There are no scalability limits on the Sumo Logic multi-tenant platform. It instantly scales each component of the architecture up or down to meet customer demand. Splunk Cloud is a single-tenant lift-and-shift version of its on-prem Enterprise solution, requiring additional provisioning at additional cost for ingesting and searching at scale, including real-time search. | Sumo Logic | Splunk |

Robust, out-of-the-box security
Sumo Logic’s compliance-ready solution comes standard with key attestations and security features, such as encryption-at-rest at no additional cost. | Sumo Logic SOC 2 Type II · PCI DSS · ISO 27001:2022 · HIPAA · FedRAMP® Moderate Authorized · TX-RAMP · GDPR · CCPA · EU-US Data Privacy Framework | Splunk Pay extra for encryption-at-rest, in PCI- and HIPAA-certified cloud environments. |

Easy to set up and use
Sumo Logic increases time-to-value by allowing customers to add users, data and third-party integrations themselves with an intuitive UI—no tickets required. Splunk’s complex setup requires users to open a support ticket for basic configurations like installing specific apps, enabling real-time search & making administrative changes. | Sumo Logic | Splunk |
|
Free training and support
All beginner and advanced training for observability and security solutions are free. Comprehensive enterprise support is available for all users. With Splunk, you need to pay for all training and certification modules. | Sumo Logic | Splunk |
|
Flexible, cost-efficient pricing
Sumo Logic’s cost-effective, high-performance data tiering helps ensure cost control and supports more data without pricing tied to daily peaks. Splunk’s licensing—whether ingest-based (per GB/day) or workload-based (SVC compute)—ties cost to data volume or compute. Under-provision and you hit performance limits on concurrent searches and users; and because Splunk spans multiple products, total cost adds up quickly. | Sumo Logic | Splunk |
