"The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"Search language is easy to understand and teach to new users."
"The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"It is very scalable."
"The alerts are very effective."
"Splunk is a user-friendly solution."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"We had a well-structured dashboard with a functional query. However, an issue arose when the Kubernetes pod restarted. The statistics from our Grafana query would reset, dropping to zero and starting anew. This was particularly noticeable with linear graphs, which are expected to show consistent growth."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could improve in automation, flexibility, and providing more content out of the box."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"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."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"Make it easy to use and the cost cheaper. This will help all organisations to implement Splunk."
