"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
"We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."
"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"It's costly."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"The solution should also have more advanced capabilities in comparison with QRadar, which offers Watson."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
