"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is the market leader."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good."
"It provides a lot of analytics with the underlying AI engine, and it is a lot easier than other solutions. There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"The client site login is pretty extensible and probably cost-effective."
"The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"I like the interface."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"Delays in responses from the technical team can pose challenges for both vendors and clients, especially considering that Splunk applications and machine solutions are critical assets."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"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."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
