"The technical is excellent."
"It is less expensive than alternative firewalls."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."

"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
