Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive.""The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points.""All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services.""The intention and the idea of the filter is great.""The product has a very good graphical interface.""One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN.""Its analytical capability is really good."

"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise.""The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment.""The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis.""We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs.""The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage.""It's a very easy-to-use solution.""The vibrant dashboards are valuable."

Cons
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved.""The only downside to this software is the price.""The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously.""They need to create a more simplified UI.""It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive.""Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster.""Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."

More LiveAction LiveNX Cons →

"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures.""The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices.""The implementation can be more user-friendly.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
