ClearOps vs Splunk
Already pay for Splunk? ClearOpsis the AI-native correction layer that sits on top, learns each stream's baseline, and lands a drafted action plan on every anomaly.
| Capability | Splunk | ClearOps |
|---|---|---|
| Detection basis | SPL saved searches and indexed-event alerts — fire when an event matches a hand-authored query, not when the stream is behaving anomalously | Per-stream ML baseline; alerts on statistically significant deviation |
| False-positive behavior | SIEM alert fatigue scales with indexed volume and authored searches — every matching notable pages, and the count grows with what you ingest | 94% of false positives filtered before they reach the team |
| What lands in your hands | A notable event, a dashboard panel, or a SOAR/Phantom handoff — the next step is up to the analyst | A drafted corrective action plan per anomaly, human-reviewed |
| Where the work happens | In the Splunk UI or a SOAR playbook, then a follow-up in your ITSM — engineer context-switches out of the ticket to triage the notable | In the ITSM ticket your team already works (ServiceNow, Jira SM) |
| Relationship to existing stack | You already pay for Splunk — ClearOps reads its indexed events and notable alerts alongside the dashboards, hosts, and SIEM seats you have today | Connects in; reads your streams; pushes drafts to your ITSM |
| Data sovereignty | Splunk Cloud is vendor-hosted SaaS with regional pinning; Splunk Enterprise is on-prem; Enterprise Security and ITSI are separately-licensed modules on top | Cloud-resident in your account; deployable in regulated environments |
| Mid-market fit / pricing posture | Per-GB ingestion pricing scales with the bill, not with the value; Enterprise Security / ITSI are additional license add-ons | 6-week pilot on one production stream; no pricing conversation until you have seen a plan run on your data |
| Time to first signal | Immediate on pre-authored saved searches, but every matching indexed event still pages | Short baseline-learning window; first drafted action plan lands within a week |
Copy is locked to the language already in the FAQ, the metrics section, and the nurture sequence — so FAQ, demo, and this page stay on the same page.
What the team feels
ClearOps filters 94% of false positives before they reach the team and lands a drafted corrective action plan — affected systems, root-cause hypothesis, next three steps — on every flagged anomaly. The on-call arrives with a plan, not an alarm.
What it costs to try
A 6-week pilot on one production stream. ClearOps reads the indexed events, notable alerts, and search logs you already pay Splunk to ingest; the existing dashboard stays where it is. No pricing conversation until a plan has run on your data.
