"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."

"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."

"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"We had some connections issues with the solution at the beginning."
