Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. "
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"The setup time is quite long."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"It takes time to train people."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"I have concerns about the architecture as well since I can see it is not very well defined."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
