"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset.""Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy.""it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware.""The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations.""I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities.""The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository.""The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."

Cons
"The support needs improvement.""The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products.""There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk.""It is not expensive compared to other solutions.""The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed.""It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."

More ManageEngine Log360 Cons →

"The pricing can be better.""The security can be improved.""There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side.""Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster.""It takes time to train people.""More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it.""Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure.""The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer."
