Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"The correlation searches (properly configured) populate the Incident Management dashboard and provide me a quick birds-eye view of my most important concerns."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very good for log aggregation."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"I like the interface."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
"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."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"The product was designed for security and IT with business intelligence needs, such as PDF exporting, but this has not been the highest priority. While the functionality is there, it could be developed more."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"Their technical support sucks."
"Considering the contract thing and the whole legal area, it takes forever to get the contracts signed and to be able to agree to the terms and conditions for my company as well as for Splunk's team."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
