"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk."
"The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"Stability."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"There are limitations with Splunk not detecting all user activity, especially on mainframes and network devices."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup."
