"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
