"The pricing model makes the product costly."
"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."
"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."
"Splunk Cloud could improve by having pre-defined templates. It has very good design views, but there is no predefined template. You have to define your own. If they could add predefined templates for different use cases."
"There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."
