"A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal."
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."
"The product is scalable."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"From my experience, the visual aid that it provides is most valuable. There are charts and other means to provide information."
"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."
"Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"This solution helps us increase our productivity."
"Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
"The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth."
"The support could be better."
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"The Enterprise Security app could be improved. We have had trouble with it working from the first day."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"The only thing which can be improved is that they are too subjective on whom their Splunk4Good initiative can be applied. They market it as you only need to be a nonprofit, but there is more to it."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
"We had an instance when Splunk failed and it took us a couple of days to recover."
