Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Technical support has always been very good.""In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used.""The initial setup process is easy.""I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."

"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.""It's easily scalable.""The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk.""This is a good security product.""The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."

Cons
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package.""The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners.""The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive.""The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."

"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules.""The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""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.""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.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
