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 Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"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."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. "
"The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"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 deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"The user experience could be improved."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
