"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"From my experience, the visual aid that it provides is most valuable. There are charts and other means to provide information."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"The ability to quickly search logs, performance data, and other inputs has helped tremendously with troubleshooting."
"I have also been able to take advantage of some of the more complex statistical capabilities when analyzing logs."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
