Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."
"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"Not even Splunk's support guy, who came to our firm, could help with defining proper role management."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
