We performed a comparison between AWS Auto Scaling and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The tool gives you the flexibility to scale up and grow. The solution is also fast to deploy."
"It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load."
"The good thing about Autoscaling is that it provides the capacity to minimize downtime. So, it gives you the assurance of stability and robustness within your system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to select a minimum amount of active servers so that a new server automatically launches if one fails."
"It can scale."
"The solution's monitoring effectively monitors our application and CPU utilization."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"Our internal business applications are hosted in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"The indexing and data collection are valuable."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"The tool's stability could be improved."
"It has latency issues. It depends on the distribution used, whether it's Amazon Linux, Windows Linux, etc. Occasionally, there are latency issues, which might lead to slower performance."
"The product’s security features need improvement."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Flexibility in configuring the workload is missing in AWS Auto Scaling."
"It could be cheaper."
"The setup can be a bit complex in some situations."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"The solution should also have more advanced capabilities in comparison with QRadar, which offers Watson."
"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"This is a costly solution."
"I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
