Migrate from Splunk and Cut Costs by 60–80%
Splunk's pricing model has become unsustainable for many organizations. As data volumes grow, licensing costs scale with them—making Splunk one of the most expensive line items in an engineering budget. Thousands of organizations are actively searching for a Splunk alternative that delivers the same visibility without the unpredictable per-GB bill.
BigData Boutique has helped organizations replace Splunk with modern, cost-effective alternatives based on OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse—maintaining or improving search and analytics capabilities while reducing infrastructure costs by 60–80%.
As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner with deep expertise in log analytics, security information and event management (SIEM), and real-time observability, we deliver Splunk migrations that are safe, thorough, and production-ready.

Why Organizations Are Leaving Splunk
Splunk built its business on ingest-based pricing. Every gigabyte of log data you ship costs money. As applications grow, microservices proliferate, and cloud infrastructure expands, log volumes compound rapidly—driving Splunk bills to six or seven figures annually for mid-size organizations. Recent changes to Splunk's licensing model and Cisco's acquisition have introduced further uncertainty.
The good news: the open-source alternatives have matured significantly. OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse can replace Splunk's core use cases—log aggregation, search, dashboarding, and alerting—at a fraction of the cost, with no per-GB pricing and full ownership of your data.
Splunk Replacement
Options
OpenSearch or Elasticsearch: The Best Splunk Alternative for Log Analytics & SIEM
OpenSearch and Elasticsearch are the most direct Splunk alternatives for log analytics and security use cases. They support full-text search, structured queries, and dashboarding through OpenSearch Dashboards or Kibana—covering the majority of Splunk workflows. Amazon OpenSearch Service provides a fully managed deployment option with native AWS integration and no per-GB ingest pricing.
We migrate your Splunk queries, dashboards, and alerts to OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, set up equivalent log pipelines using OpenTelemetry or Logstash, and deliver a fully functional Splunk replacement without compromising your security or operational visibility.
ClickHouse: The Best Splunk Alternative for High-Volume Log Analytics
For organizations primarily using Splunk for log aggregation and analytical queries rather than full-text search, ClickHouse offers extraordinary price-performance. ClickHouse can ingest millions of log events per second and answer complex aggregation queries over petabytes of data with sub-second latency—at a cost orders of magnitude lower than Splunk.
We design ClickHouse-based log analytics architectures with Kafka for ingest, materialized views for pre-aggregation, and Grafana for dashboarding—delivering a Splunk replacement with dramatically better query performance at a fraction of the cost.
Our Splunk Migration
Approach
Splunk migration is not just a technology swap. It requires translating query languages, recreating dashboards, migrating alerting logic, and training your team on the new platform. Our structured methodology covers all of it.
Splunk Usage Assessment
We audit your Splunk environment to understand data sources, query patterns, dashboards, alerts, and integrations. We identify the right target platform for each use case and build a migration plan that prioritizes high-value workloads.
Query & Dashboard Translation
We translate your SPL (Splunk Processing Language) queries to OpenSearch Query DSL, Elasticsearch Query DSL, or ClickHouse SQL, and recreate your dashboards in OpenSearch Dashboards, Kibana, or Grafana with equivalent functionality.
Pipeline Migration
We migrate your log ingestion pipelines from Splunk Universal Forwarder to modern alternatives (OpenTelemetry, Logstash, Fluent Bit, Vector) and configure data routing to your new analytics platform with appropriate retention policies.
Training & Cutover
We train your operations, security, and engineering teams on the new platform and manage a parallel-running cutover period that ensures nothing is lost. We stay on-call through the cutover to address any issues immediately.
