Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"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."
"We used it to create a custom anomaly detection data model to monitor the activity of our back-end services on an hourly basis relative to the past three months of activity."
"I like the Splunk dashboard and search engine."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"This solution helps us increase our productivity."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers two valuable features: the Common Information Model and arrangement modules."
"We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster."
"Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
