"The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products."
"It's a monster, it's got so many beautiful features. We do deal with other firewalls and we've got a better idea of what other firewalls' capabilities are, any comparison with the Palo Alto I liked the quality of service on the applications that you can control the amount of bandwidth an application is allowed to consume. The best feature is the quality of the application quality of service."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"You can scale the product."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention."

"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."

"It's not so easy to set up a test environment, because it's not so easy to get the test license. The vendor only gives you 90 days for a test license; it's a tough license to get."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
"The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market."
"The installation was complicated."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
