Question 1

How much does it cost to replace Splunk?

Accepted Answer

A custom devops & engineering tool to replace Splunk costs $45,000–$80,000 as a one-time build fee. That compares to $48,000/year for Splunk at 20 seats. Over 3 years, you save approximately $67,775 (43%).

Question 2

How long does it take to build a Splunk replacement?

Accepted Answer

A custom Splunk replacement typically takes 12-18 weeks to build and deploy. This is a Platform Build project. We handle architecture, development, testing, deployment, and data migration from Splunk.

Question 3

Is a custom-built devops & engineering tool as good as Splunk?

Accepted Answer

Better for your needs — because it's built specifically for your workflow. Most teams use under 20% of Splunk's features but pay for 100%. We build the features you actually use, optimized for how your team works, without the bloat or per-seat pricing.

Question 4

What happens to my data when I leave Splunk?

Accepted Answer

We handle the complete data migration from Splunk to your new custom tool. Your data moves to your own database on your infrastructure. You maintain full ownership and control — no vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations.

Question 5

Who maintains the custom devops & engineering tool after it's built?

Accepted Answer

You have two options: our maintenance retainer ($500–$3,000/month depending on complexity) covers ongoing support, updates, and monitoring. Or your team maintains it — you own the full source code and documentation. Most clients start with our retainer.
