Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The report templates are valuable. It works very well, and integrations also work well."
"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"It's easy to set up the product."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are customizing reports, and the ability to drill down to display critical information in real-time."
"The traffic log information we receive from Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is valuable."
"The anti-virus protection it offers our clients is solid."
"Log collection is the most valuable. The UI looks great. It has a very good look and feel. We don't have the need to use solid state drives. We use mechanic drives, and we don't see any performance issues, so basically, it is doing fine."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"Its monitoring is completely automated."
"It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."
"In future releases, we'd like to see more granular reporting. The reports on offer right now are pretty short."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to search logs in integrated solutions."
"The cost of FortiAnalyzer could be cheaper, especially when you are installing to a VM. For 90 percent of customers, the VM solution is enough."
"The UI could use some improvement. It can be tough for a beginner to navigate because you don't know what to do even if you read the guide. I've talked to some users who said that they couldn't figure out what to do even after looking at the documentation."
"They could always improve the interface and the user experience."
"The solution can improve the incident response function to provide more detailed information on where the incident is originating."
"FortiAnalyzer only integrates with Fortinet solutions. That is a limitation because many organizations use multiple vendors. It's often a mixture of Cisco network hardware and equipment from other vendors, such as switches, access points, etc."
"The pricing could be better. They could work to make it more competitive on the market."
"Every time they launch new versions, we experience a few bugs. The most recent version had a couple of bugs in the databases. We contacted the vendor and got assistance solving these bugs, so the environment is more stable."
"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."
"The administration could use improvement. We have to rely on support more often than we're used to."
"There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
