We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable.""The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go.""The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable.""Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort""It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market.""You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do.""The product has a good security posture.""The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me.""Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."

Cons
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.""No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

More Mezmo Cons →

"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives.""I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need.""In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility.""The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex.""Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported.""This is a costly solution.""This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation.""Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
