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 event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"I like the Splunk dashboard and search engine."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Splunk is."
"The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"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."
"What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process."
"The price has room for improvement."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
