"Technical support is good overall."
"This solution has excellent security analytics."
"The flexibility is good in terms of pulling log files."
"Improves visibility and has a great new dashboard."
"The solution is quite flexible."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"This is a good security product."
"It would be better if it were more stable and more secure. The price for maintenance could be better. It's too high. In the next release, I think they should focus on the price and the operation."
"With IBM Security QRadar, my company faced issues with the support we received for the product."
"The product needs to improve its GUI."
"IBM QRadar has outdated technology, and this is its area for improvement. When you try to implement an analytic expression, it's not updated. The solution doesn't support newer technologies, and it doesn't update regularly. For example, around the world, others implement new technologies, while IBM updates later than others."
"While the interface is easy to use, it could be a little more responsive."
"QRadar log integration of various applications can be a tough job at times. There may be occasions when you will not find any QRadar guide on adding logs of a particular application. Even if you come across one, adding a log process is not an easy one."
"I would also like to see more integration with other vendors. IBM doesn't integrate well with products from China, like Huawei. Many Middle Eastern customers are switching to Huawei from American vendors like Cisco because of the price. In most RFPs, Huawei wins because it costs less."
"Each module requires a separate license and a separate cost."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"There are occasional bugs."
