"It provides a graphical representation and it's clear to see what's happening."
"The solution has good features."
"Grafana is a very scalable product. It's a really good product."
"The comparison feature is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."
"I haven't had the chance to properly sink my teeth into Enterprise Security but so far I like that they added the MITRE ATT&CK features."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"Splunk helps us be more proactive. We can take predictive action to identify and block threats so that nothing harmful gets into the system."
"We need different kinds of applications in our infrastructure to see information in Grafana."
"There are not a lot of plugins for financial market monitoring."
"Grafana doesn't provide anything for reporting."
"It would be helpful if they simplified the data source."
"It's difficult to see the trends on the graph when the range is too long."
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
"It can take a considerable amount of time to learn the graphs if a long duration is selected."
"Setting up alerts via Grafana is a bit complicated, and alerting needs to improve."
"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 implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"The glass table feature does not perform as expected."
"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
