Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."In terms of features, the querying is great."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it can be fully integrated with Microsoft solutions and it doesn't impact the productivity order."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"Integrity with many vendors: This simplifies the implementation and integration with different devices"
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"The customer service and support could improve their approach to questioning issues. They tend to ask questions one at a time, which creates a lot of back-and-forth communication."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
"Make it easy to use and the cost cheaper. This will help all organisations to implement Splunk."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
