Pros
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services.""We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive.""The product has a very good graphical interface.""Its analytical capability is really good.""The intention and the idea of the filter is great.""One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN.""The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."

"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage.""We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs.""I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing.""The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."

Cons
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously.""They need to create a more simplified UI.""The only downside to this software is the price.""Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster.""It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive.""This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved.""Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."

More LiveAction LiveNX Cons →

"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""The price has room for improvement.""They need more EDR functionalities.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
