"The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM"
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"I like the interface."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well."
"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."
"It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
