"The most valuable thing was that it had a good visualization tool."
"Grafana is able to connect with multiple data sources, unlike Elasticsearch."
"There are multiple kinds of models there to create dashboards, which is quite useful."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a standard solution providing good customer service and partnership."
"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"The formatting could be better."
"The security needs to be improved, such as the capacity to add permissions on dashboards."
"Trigger limits are difficult to see in a graph."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"I would like the ability to download my results into any format in order to share the information with my clients."
"There are some areas of network drives that are not showing as expected based on server usage."
"One area for improvement in Grafana is that depending on your version, you have to pay for the features, making the license expensive. It would be great if the licensing model could be more flexible. In the next release of Grafana, I want cluster creation to be available, which would help in Grafana deployment and scaling. Currently, the scaling process for the solution is a bit complicated."
"The product's configuration for saving files could be improved."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"Its interface could be improved."
"I feel the solution to be too slow."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer."
