"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 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.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Pros →

"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular.""We can easily configure things as required in relation to our use cases.""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.""You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do.""The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization.""It has virtual visualization, and other products do not.""The technical support is among the best in the market.""I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."

Cons
"The initial setup is a bit complex.""This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case.""The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive.""The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward.""This is an expensive solution.""Customization requires a few manual tweaks.""Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."

More AppDynamics Application Analytics Cons →

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""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.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""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."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"It needs integration with a configuration management solution.""The product is relatively expensive.""It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com.""The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people.""It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated.""​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​""The setup time is quite long.""Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
