"The reporting feature is good for us."
"The most useful feature of this solution is tracking. When the application's traffic has been monitored it is taken from that particular application and analyzed. It is then given a live session of that particular user. For example, if you are using your bank application to do some kind of transaction, everything that you do can be tracked by that application."
"The technical support is good at resolving issues."
"Very easy to implement."
"It provides a lot of analytics with the underlying AI engine, and it is a lot easier than other solutions. There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"Splunk is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported."
"Some issues with login errors."
"Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely."
"This technology is considered to be older."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
"There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
