Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The initial setup isn't overly complex."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"It provides a lot of analytics with the underlying AI engine, and it is a lot easier than other solutions. There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer."
"The configuration had a bit of a learning curve."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
