Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, New Relic, Devo and others in IT Operations Analytics."It facilitates infrastructure readiness and consistency."
"It provides visualization of risk levels."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive."
"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 initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"Alerting needs improvement."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive. That's because the model is based on how much data it processes a day, which can be prohibitive, especially if you have a lot of data. A lot of customers may not be ready for the sticker shock on how to fully leverage the product. I realized that the reason for that is that when it was originally designed, it was kind of like a big data modeling application. If they want to have a bigger customer base, they can come out with subsets of their product that are focused on specific things and have different pricing models. It may help with the cost."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
