"Special notifications about compromised phones are valuable because we have some guest networks, and sometimes, people are connecting phones that are connected to compromised websites. We want to be informed about it. We sometimes have some cases where we want to analyze the connection from inside to outside ports. So, it helps with a lot of things. It depends on our needs."
"There are customizable workflows that you can work with. You can automate certain tasks in FortiAnaylzer in the incidents and events sections."
"Initial setup is ok."
"FortiAnalyzer's best feature is centralized log analysis. It's based on SQL database, so I can fully customize my report, chart-wise and log-wise, and can create as many reports as I want without any limit."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to integrate."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is a complete package for managing our equipment."
"Technical reports clearly identify system checks, locations and areas, how many times things escape, which firewall is affected, and source IDs."
"We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"he cloud performance is good."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
"Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving"
"I would like to see an improvement in the technical support. Stronger authentication will also be a plus."
"They could improve the user interface a bit."
"The technical support takes at least two days to reply on any ticket post raised on their website."
"The technical support is not very good."
"The pricing could be better. They could work to make it more competitive on the market."
"The reports are good, but they are over-summarized."
"We would like to do the reporting, logging, and administration of all the public devices and all the IoT devices. We wish to add the switches, and routers from different vendors, so it's not a vendor-specific diagnostic solution."
"Feature-wise, it is working very well for us. We don't need any additional features. However, its pricing can be improved. For small business customers, price is an important factor."
"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."
"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"They need to provide more training options."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects."
"Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."
