More Goliath Performance Monitor Pros →

"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations.""Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs.""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.""It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most.""The graph visualization is the most valuable feature.""We solve issues that we previously could not since we now have the data.""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.""Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."

Cons
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there.""I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."

More Goliath Performance Monitor Cons →

"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall.""It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com.""Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process.""Splunk needs local technical support.""More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""The product was difficult to back up the first time.""Technical support needs to be more responsive."
