Cons
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from.""Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."

More Goliath Performance Monitor Cons →

"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it.""For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster.""The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall.""The price of the solution could be cheaper.""The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster.""The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have.""Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it.""The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
