"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The integration point."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"The solution's most valuable features are the granularity and analysis of the logs."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources."
"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's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
