Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Wire data analytics.""Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis.""This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space.""There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has.""The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network.""The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature.""We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations.""The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly.""The product is adept at log mining.""The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk.""The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace.""The log aggregation is great.""Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."

Cons
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."

More ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations Cons →

"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product.""Its interface could be improved.""I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need.""The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated.""Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue.""It needs integration with a configuration management solution.""Some of the terminology can be confusing, even for seasoned vets. Renaming components at this point would be a serious undertaking. However, it might be beneficial in the long run.""It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
