"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM"
"The solution has made us more secure."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. "
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Stability."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"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."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"Not even Splunk's support guy, who came to our firm, could help with defining proper role management."
