Cut your Cisco Splunk bundle renewal bill

What you will take away

• The bundle is the Cisco sales motion, not the only buyer option. Standalone Splunk remains a valid posture.
• Ingest based pricing carries growth risk. Workload mapping is the load bearing preparation.
• Workload pricing as an alternative. Splunk Workload Pricing decouples from raw ingest.
• The Cisco observability stack overlaps Splunk. Read the deduplication carefully.
• EA term concentration is the largest commercial lever. Co term Cisco EA, Splunk, and selected adjacencies.
