Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…
Kundan Nagare - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent data analysis and visualization capabilities
I use the Platform to monitor my IT infrastructure. There are apps for Linux and Windows servers that capture performance metrics like CPU and memory usage. These metrics are collected and sent to the blank index through forwarders. Splunk helps with security information and event management by detecting and monitoring network equipment and firewalls. It saves searches for specific terms, like threats, in firewall logs. When a match is found, it alerts about potential security breaches, helping to detect and address them. The real-time processing capability in Splunk enhances data monitoring by centrally collecting all data. This allows for easy searching and scheduling of searches, reducing the need for manual intervention. The dashboard and visualization features in Splunk impact data analysis by providing a clear status of data analysis. Users can create customized views for management, helping them understand what is happening within the infrastructure more effectively. I would recommend Splunk to others, especially from the CIM perspective. Its data analysis and visualization capabilities are unmatched, making it an excellent choice for SIM. Overall, I would rate Splunk Enterprise Platform as a nine out of ten.
