"The product provides self-healing features."
"The solution helps optimize the cost of the AWS environment."
"AWS Auto Scaling is cost-effective and very useful for businesses."
"The solution's monitoring effectively monitors our application and CPU utilization."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"The tool's most valuable feature is vertical auto-scaling, which is easy to use. However, most companies now prefer horizontal scaling. I set up the health check integration to monitor CPU usage. When it reaches seventy percent, it sends me an email notification."
"When a lot of traffic comes into our organization, the product scales our instances based on our environment’s requirements."
"The dashboard is amazing. Out-of-the-box dashboard is very good. It is very user-friendly."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures."
"We can have more auto scaling algorithms implemented in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The speed of the solution must be improved."
"The solution must improve automation."
"It has latency issues. It depends on the distribution used, whether it's Amazon Linux, Windows Linux, etc. Occasionally, there are latency issues, which might lead to slower performance."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"The solution is not out-of-the-box and you have to study to use it. It should be more easier to use."
"The tool's stability could be improved."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
