Logpoint makes costs more predictable and enables companies to generate revenue through security operation services.
Comparison Results: Splunk is highly regarded for its efficient data processing and powerful search capabilities. Users like Splunk's customization options and ability to process data from multiple sources quickly, but reviewers say it could be more intuitive and offer advanced AI capabilities. Logpoint excels at log collection and analysis but would benefit from improvements in its user interface and resource usage.
"The solution's user interface is quite simple, and the integration is better than other products."
"The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"The solution offers excellent reporting features. Our customers have been satisfied that they have been able to meet their compliance needs by giving them a standard report."
"They basically charge you in a better way."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"The most valuable feature is the custom dashboard feature."
"The metrics and trends that Splunk Enterprise Security generates using all the data points we send allow customers to understand better what their users are doing."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"I like the ease with which dashboards can be created."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"The general public wasn't looking for that type of product unless you had a company that was medical or financial and needed 24-hour responsiveness."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"Logpoint is not flexible. Its documentation is not user-friendly."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
"Certain sections of the developer documentation could use some updating and clarification."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is relatively expensive."
