"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"The speed of the search engine"
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."

"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"The configuration could be better."
