More IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Pros →

"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.""Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations.""The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product.""It is very stable. We have not had any problems.""Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs.""We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system.""Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great.""Splunk Enterprise Security's dashboards are a key asset."

Cons
"The user interface was not good.""The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."

More IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Cons →

"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good.""It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com.""The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system.""Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue.""The solution should also have more advanced capabilities in comparison with QRadar, which offers Watson.""The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations.""The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging.""I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
