"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company.""The initial setup isn't overly complex.""The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product.""Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI.""Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses.""The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening.""From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful.""The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."

Cons
"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions.""The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex.""Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss.""I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need.""There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources.""It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers.""Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize.""While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
