"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"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."
"My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it."
"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."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
