Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"It follows MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks. There are certain notable events for which we can configure our security posture."
"I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Splunk is."
"If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
"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."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
