"Separating sections or conditions on Fortinet FortiAnalyzer is quite clear."
"The analyzer is the most valuable feature."
"The product works well with other products."

"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"The feature I find most useful is the handy dashboard."
"Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its flexibility and readiness because it's already prebuilt, and everything is click-to-go."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."
"This is a complete log reporting tool."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think some improvement is required in real-time log monitoring, as sometimes it gets stuck or displays results after a delay."
"Feature-wise, it is working very well for us. We don't need any additional features. However, its pricing can be improved. For small business customers, price is an important factor."
"The solution can improve the incident response function to provide more detailed information on where the incident is originating."
"The technical support is not very reliable."
"The user interface could be a bit more user-friendly."
"FortiAnalyzer only integrates with Fortinet solutions. That is a limitation because many organizations use multiple vendors. It's often a mixture of Cisco network hardware and equipment from other vendors, such as switches, access points, etc."
"The solution should be more price competitive."
"Support could be improved."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"Customization could be simplified."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
"When it comes to the integrations with the other platforms, there is a little bit of a lag in the observability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
