"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"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."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"There are occasional bugs."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"It is significantly complex."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."
