Ivanti

  • No pricing is published on the products page; the only routes are Contact Our Team or the How to Buy page describing the sales process, per ivanti.com, August 2026

Splunk

  • No prices are published on any plan; every model requires contacting sales for an estimate
  • Three separate pricing models, workload, ingest and entity, so the same deployment costs different amounts depending on which was signed
  • Ingest pricing bills on data volume, so cost tracks how much you log rather than how much value you get from it
  • Security, observability and platform are priced separately
