Splunk Enterprise Platform offers scalable solutions, efficiently managing large data volumes and user bases with optional cloud support for extended scalability.
Splunk allows for scalability, as you can start with an all-in-one instance and, as your deployment grows, split it into distributed deployment, such as separating the search head and indexers.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform a scalable solution since it has different components, and if the server is down, I can upgrade the server resources or create a new node for performance optimization.
SOC A2 at Innodata-ISOGEN
Some products can automatically scale, but Splunk requires manual configuration changes to achieve scale, which is slightly outdated compared to modern technologies.

Room For Improvement

ConnectWise RMM needs better automation, customizable dashboards, and improved query flexibility, with reasonable pricing but room for enhancement.
Splunk Enterprise needs improvements in cost, user interface, scalability, automation, AI features, and better support and integration options.
The pricing for ConnectWise RMM is reasonable.
Manager, Technical Team at Expert It Solutions Alberta
The deep learning capabilities need enhancing, especially on Splunk Cloud, where customers find it challenging to use deep learning tools without setting up backend computing resources.
Consultant at Artifield
The cost is the most significant area for improvement in Splunk Enterprise Platform, as it is quite expensive, causing many clients to differ due to this reason.
SOC A2 at Innodata-ISOGEN
From what I have noticed across all SIEM platforms, they are beginning to incorporate AI capabilities, which is an aspect that I think Splunk could enhance.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
 

Setup Cost

ConnectWise RMM provides flexible pricing, with costs starting at $2.50 per endpoint, including valuable NOC and help desk services.
Splunk Enterprise is expensive, with costs based on data ingestion; small businesses often seek alternatives despite a free tier.
The pricing model is based on ingesting data sizes, not user count, and includes a free tier for up to 500 MB of daily data.
Consultant at Artifield
This leads us not to recommend it for small companies due to the high cost and often pushes us to suggest alternatives such as Elastic Security, which has more volume-based licensing options.
Security Consultant at ITSEC Asia
Splunk Enterprise Platform is expensive.

Manager, Technical Team at Expert It Solutions Alberta
Automation tools improve management efficiency, though migration process is time-consuming and support could be more knowledgeable
The best features of ConnectWise RMM are the automation tools that they've included, which are quite good, enabling us to mass manage systems, schedule scripts, etc. We use some of the probe features in ConnectWise RMM that do network discovery and monitoring capabilities. ConnectWise RMM helps our team maintain network visibility and proactively address potential issues since the product works effectively at unknown device discovery, making it better than sending someone to the site for a manual discovery. ConnectWise RMM helps in automating security updates and maintaining endpoint security. We appreciate that their NOC team does evaluations on the security updates, allowing us to free up our time and making it a huge timesaver for us. The ability to do deployments through ConnectWise RMM's scripting features allows us to deploy new software or monitor the status of antivirus or system protection software, presenting another measurable benefit for us regarding ROI.

Has streamlined data integration and enabled real-time dashboard visualizations through a powerful search engine
Splunk Enterprise Platform has a vast and versatile powerful search engine with which I can handle all queries, and creating use cases and the search and dashboard is the main selling point, allowing me to visualize live dashboards. The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT. Splunk Enterprise Platform also has its own Phantom as a SOAR, which is much more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool. In anomaly detection, I can live track anomalies and change the registry. Splunk Enterprise Platform serves as a time-saving solution because integrating other sources such as Syslog or router switch firewall is much easier.
