Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"Wire data analytics."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"The connections to the database are very good and updating the data files is simple to do. The dashboards are useful and user-friendly."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance."
