"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning.""The solution's most valuable features are the granularity and analysis of the logs.""It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end.""Search language is easy to understand and teach to new users.""It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market.""Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them.""Splunk has helped improve our company's resilience level.""Easy to deploy and simple to use."

Cons
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."

More Falcon LogScale Cons →

"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure.""The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options.""The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required.""For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy.""Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly.""The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
