JigarHirani - PeerSpot reviewer
Splunk Engineer at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
Log pipelines have reduced daily data volume and now simplify traffic analysis
Overall, the pipelines and all the features are good with Cribl. The UI is good. Just sometimes, when I actually started using Cribl, I faced the issue where I was not able to connect the nodes. The pipeline is structured in a certain way, then the data will be routed to there, and something of that nature. I was very much confused about their whole products, such as Data Lake and pipelines. It's possible that at that time I didn't take any university courses, which is why I did not know much. But if they can give an intro on how we can connect nodes, or they can provide simple use cases showing what you can do with Cribl, it would help. If you just need to add the source and the destination and pre-build some proper workflow, then it will be easy for new customers to navigate through Cribl.

Proactive monitoring has transformed compliance checks and reduces help desk tickets daily
During implementation, we identified some features that I'm not actually using today, such as advanced predictive analytics and Digital Employee Experience scoring, along with real-time self-healing at scale. The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information. There's also a skill gap in teams, an over-automation risk, integration challenges, licensing and cost concerns, cultural resistance, and limited real-time action adoption due to the hybrid environment's complexity. If I could change just one thing about Workspace ONE Intelligence, even something small, it would be to make automation adoption simpler and safer, which would ease my workflow.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cribl acts as a super product because it enables one source to send to multiple destinations using only one copy."
"Cribl actually has sorted out our problems, but it will probably be better."
"Cribl is a Ferrari for data analytics and monitoring, but you don't hand over the power or weaponize that tool for someone who doesn't know how to use it."
"The ease of management and configuration of Cribl Edge features is highly beneficial—I have many thousands of Cribl Edge nodes deployed, and it's very easy to make configuration changes across the board or update the agent."
"Cribl's ability to handle high volumes of diverse data types is exactly the purpose that we took it for, and as far as I have seen for the last nine months, it is handling well without issues."
"Cribl brings two main improvements to our organization. The first improvement is cost saving, as we can save a lot of cost by reducing the data. The second important improvement is the data quality, which is also one of the most critical aspects because it filters the data and makes it whatever we want to see."
"Cribl is excellent for scalability, as it is good overall for pipeline maintaining, horizontal scaling, distributed architecture, parallel pipelines, and load balancing."
"Features such as Cribl Stream, Cribl LogStream, and Cribl Edge have been the most beneficial. The Cribl LogStream, in particular, is valuable for routing data, creating firewalls on pipelines, and putting security measures in place to ensure data reaches its destination without issues."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
"Integration is also very easy."
"Workspace ONE Intelligence has significantly impacted my organization overall by shifting the operation from reactive to proactive IT, reducing the help desk load, providing a stronger security posture, improving visibility across the enterprise, automating routine IT work, especially in banking-specific contexts, enhancing employee productivity, and optimizing costs, leading to a cultural shift in IT teams."
 

Cons

"If I say one negative thing, the setup is a little bit trickier because observability setups are generally trickier."
"Data cost is a concern, as Cribl charges for everything it sees rather than everything it processes."
"In Cribl Search, the language and the flexibility in querying the data can be improved because it is not as good as other solutions."
"It would be really nice to be able to see Cribl gain insights from the data as the data is in stream, in flight, on the way to wherever its final storage destination is."
"However, the endpoint plug-in tool can use some refinement, as it tends to hit system resources and can sometimes be detrimental to systems to the point where it must be turned off and a scan restarted when a user is offline."
"What I dislike about Cribl are the documentation gaps and the setup complexity."
"Cribl Stream is good, but I feel they could develop more products apart from Cribl Stream for my use case."
"Cribl's UI is quite simple and minimal, helping the developer and team get familiar with it earlier; however, it provides functionalities in a very deep way, and the function section is quite messy and includes too many functionalities which are generally not required at an amateur level."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
"The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I would not say it is a cheaply priced tool as it has been doing wonders in the market. The tool has been budget-friendly for organizations."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
