We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going.""The most valuable feature is mapping.""The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."

"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL​. It allows us to dig into raw events.""Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data.""Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data.""The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs.""Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks.""Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses.""Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."

Cons
"Reporting is sometimes a little slow.""The pricing could be improved.""The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."

More Oracle Log Analytics Cloud Service Cons →

"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help.""If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product.""The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way.""The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us.""Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements.""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."
