We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring.""The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."

"It's very flexible. If you look from the cloud implementation it is there. Reports are made quickly. Unlike other tools, it caters to all kinds of technical information on the front very easily. There's no need to put in any technical information. You can pull on the reports very easily, take action, and notify stakeholders.""The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES.""What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis.""Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc.""It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most.""Integrity with many vendors: This simplifies the implementation and integration with different devices""The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data.""I am satisfied with the support."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement.""My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."

"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training.""Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue.""The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc.""Its interface could be improved.""Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud.""The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do.""For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster.""The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
