"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most.""Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning.""The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings.""The data representation options in the dashboards are excellent.""There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive.""Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations.""The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data.""The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."

Cons
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."

More Rapid7 InsightOps Cons →

"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues.""The pricing can be better.""It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience.""I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk.""It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics.""The product must improve insider threat detection.""Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize.""The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
