"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."

"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
