There are some products that do automated AI-based detection and drawing up charts, but for network monitoring and all of the monitoring aspects, it is quite a nice tool. It is very convenient for business users because they get more or less a lot of data readily available. If you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."

"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"Splunk should have more regional data centers in the Middle East."
"The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"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."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
