Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"The scalability is good."
"Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize."
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"In the past we used the different application to collect logs. We used SurfWatch and VMware to do so. But, we found that the Splunk has more capacity to do more in less time. They provide a aster speed to index all the events , and this is a huge asset."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"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."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"Implementation could be improved."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"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."
"The pricing can be better."
"It is important to make sure that everything is built off of the threat models and all the underlying items within Splunk."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"The analytics of Splunk could be improved."
