Pros
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards.""Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution.""The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud.""Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

More Dell CloudIQ Pros →

"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to transact in the cloud and its ability to onboard data easily with minimum connectors.""The speed of the search engine""The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results.""The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows.""It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk.""The completeness of the solution is what we like the most.""Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface.""The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."

Cons
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved.""The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved.""Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range.""PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful.""When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time.""Splunk could enhance its services by providing more comprehensive professional assistance aimed at optimizing our investment.""The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment.""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.""It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance.""I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
