"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"We need different kinds of applications in our infrastructure to see information in Grafana."

"The solution has room for improvement with a better API to help automate the construction of the dashboards easier."
"Lacks event management which affects our DevOps people."
"Its interface could be more accessible."
"Lacks in-depth graphs and sufficient AI."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"The main drawback is the necessity for endpoint monitoring."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."
