Featured Reviews

Nagendra Nekkala. - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable solution that enables users to see all the event logs in one place
The technical support team is very slow. The support persons do not take prompt action. They take too much time to implement new changes. Even if we tell them that we are not able to get critical logs, they take almost three to four days to provide a resolution. The support is not good.
Ian Gatundu - PeerSpot reviewer
It improves our visibility and decision-making while helping us meet compliance standards
The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function. It's easy to monitor multiple cloud environments because you can create custom dashboards for any use case you may have. It offers good visibility because it integrates with the ITSI app, providing a clear overview of your environment. Integrating Splunk with other components on the cloud and network resources is effortless because it can collect data from various sources, including stored data from long-term storage. Splunk's reporting offers a good visualization of your data. You can visualize the statistics based on your searches. It produces some helpful graphs that enable you to easily compare what's happening in your search. It's very comprehensive.
