We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."

More ObserveIT Pros →

"This is a good security product.""It's easily scalable.""The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus.""The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks.""The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk.""We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."

Cons
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."

More ObserveIT Cons →

"The price of Splunk UBA is too high.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats.""There are occasional bugs.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""We'd like the ability to do custom searches."

  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."

  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
