"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"This is a straightforward solution, easy to configure."
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk."
"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."
"It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
