Pros
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."

More NetCrunch Pros →

"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration.""The most valuable feature is log reporting.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data.""It's a very easy-to-use solution.""The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."

Cons
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

More NetCrunch Cons →

"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference.""We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features.""The deployment can be quite complex."

    Top Answer:I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing.
    Top Answer:The clustering part of indexes can be more refined. They can cut down a bit at the monetary level for the long-time customers. We recently had a scenario where we were in discussions to see if there… more »
