"The most valuable feature is the ability to select a minimum amount of active servers so that a new server automatically launches if one fails."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"This is a straightforward solution, easy to configure."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this."
"Could be more user friendly."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
