| Forensic Dimension | Splunk Cloud Platform | Zoom Workplace Business & Rooms |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Observability & APM | Enterprise Collaboration |
| Pricing Unit | per Daily GB Ingested / year | per Host License / mo |
| P25 Negotiated Floor | $1150.0 | $11.5 |
| P50 Market Median | $1480.0 | $14.99 |
| List Price (Unnegotiated) | $2000.0 | $18.32 |
| Avg. SMB Annual Spend | $110,000/yr | $22,000/yr |
| Cancellation Notice Window | 90 Days | 60 Days |
| Default Renewal Uplift | +12% / yr | +10% / yr |
| Hidden Overage Trap | Verbose debug logs and noisy load-balancer health checks counted at full daily GB ingest price; exceeding daily ingest 5 times in a rolling 30-day window triggers enforcement. | Cloud Recording storage overages billed at $40–$100/month per extra TB when old meeting recordings aren't auto-archived to S3/Drive after 90 days. |
| Primary Negotiation Lever | Insert an telemetry pipeline filter (Cribl / OpenTelemetry) before Splunk ingest to drop debug noise by 40%, or switch to Splunk Workload Pricing (SVC) at renewal. | Leverage Microsoft Teams / Google Meet inclusion as a walk-away alternative to secure a 30%–38% discount off Host and Zoom Phone bundles, plus 30-day auto-delete on cloud recordings. |
