Find out what your peers are saying about PagerDuty, Atlassian, Everbridge and others in IT Alerting and Incident Management."With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"It's mainly for mass notification and pooling of contacts. Pooling of customers is valuable."
"Our performance showed us that, for major incidents, we spent over 40 minutes just making manual call-outs. That is why we implement the tool in the first place and that time has been cut down to two or three minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the support calendars."
"The post mortem reports are descriptive, indicating who joined the call and when."
"By leveraging Everbridge, with a few clicks of a mouse, we are able to go in and request as many teams as we require to respond to an incident and bring them together to collaborate much faster."
"It's a lot easier to create and manage schedules, especially in comparison to the on-call scheduling creation in ServiceNow. That has always been something of a bear to operate. We've found it's a lot simpler in Everbridge."
"It's very customizable. For instance, if you're going on vacation this week, you go to your calendar and say, "I'm off this week, make the secondary the primary." And that's done on-the-fly. It's very responsive. It's very user-friendly."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
"I like the ease with which dashboards can be created."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"Lacks ability to customize messages."
"I know that we get frustrated at the capacity of SMS messages. It's not very long, and if you want to send a long message, they end up sending you a link to the rest of the message."
"You have to create schedules in Everbridge. It would be better if it could tie into an existing solution, such as Microsoft Exchange or Google Calendar, so that you don't have to create it in both places. That's one thing it lacks right now. You can't just say, "Hey, look at this Microsoft calendar. That's what we want to use." You have to create it in Everbridge."
"An ability to get to the database that houses our information would be great. Currently, we are at the mercy of Everbridge and, if they do not have the function built, we cannot gather the information that we would like."
"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."
"The integration with other solutions needs improvement... Due to issues with the libraries provided by Everbridge, we have not been able to integrate IT Alerting with our incident management tool."
"The incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."
"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
