"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"Power packs."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is the comprehensive logging capabilities it provides."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM"
"This solution helps us increase our productivity."
"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."

"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"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."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"Professional support is great, but too expensive."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
