We performed a comparison between AWS Auto Scaling and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."
"It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load."
"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."
"It can scale."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it scales automatically without manual intervention based on the metrics we provide."
"I like the graphs provided by the tool."
"The tool gives you the flexibility to scale up and grow. The solution is also fast to deploy."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
"It allows for transparency into IT metrics for insightful business analytics."
"They are a good partner for Google Cloud. It provides great visibility, threat detection, and proactive mitigation of risks for our mutual consumers."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."
"It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis."
"Splunk is a user-friendly solution."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The product could add more features for managing instances."
"The tool's stability could be improved."
"The solution must improve automation."
"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 must include AI features."
"It could be cheaper."
"We can have more auto scaling algorithms implemented in AWS Auto Scaling."
"Its interface and usability can always be improved."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
