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 most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology."
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
