"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"Exporting is a good feature. It helps me out when I have to do reports. I do a lot of exporting and crunching of the numbers. Dashboards are okay for showing to the leadership, but for doing statistics and updating tickets, the export feature is very beneficial for me."
"Its integration is most valuable. Its UI is also pretty much easy."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."

"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful. The platform part is good, but it requires many features from the security aspect."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
