We performed a comparison between Splunk Enterprise Security and VMware Aria Operations for Applications based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers two valuable features: the Common Information Model and arrangement modules."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"Recently, Splunk upgraded to version 9.0.02, which includes excellent data dashboards and visualization effects."
"It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private."
"People are very pleased with the implementation."
"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation."
"No issues with stability."
"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
"They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us."
"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."
"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
"The initial setup should be easier and more seamless."
"Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more."
