Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther ( /products/panther-reviews )'s detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ), and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git ( /products/git-reviews ) repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git ( /products/git-reviews ) repositories.

It improves our visibility and decision-making while helping us meet compliance standards
The Cloud Platform interface is cleaner than Splunk Enterprise's monitoring console. You can easily understand what's happening with your indexes. It's more refined than Splunk Enterprise's console, but they have the same feel and function. It's easy to monitor multiple cloud environments because you can create custom dashboards for any use case you may have. It offers good visibility because it integrates with the ITSI app, providing a clear overview of your environment. Integrating Splunk with other components on the cloud and network resources is effortless because it can collect data from various sources, including stored data from long-term storage. Splunk's reporting offers a good visualization of your data. You can visualize the statistics based on your searches. It produces some helpful graphs that enable you to easily compare what's happening in your search. It's very comprehensive.

Pros

"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
"I like the idea of being able to list the IPs that we want without having to open up a ticket to get it done so that way if anything changes we can add a new IP."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."
"We use Splunk Cloud primarily as a troubleshooting tool, so the most valuable features are the analysis and visualization."
"he cloud performance is good."
"We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform deployment process could be improved to reduce the time required."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"Splunk Cloud could improve by having pre-defined templates. It has very good design views, but there is no predefined template. You have to define your own. If they could add predefined templates for different use cases."
"Customization could be simplified."
"Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
