Pros
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching.""We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs.""The vibrant dashboards are valuable.""The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."

"The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times.""The solution has been stable.""We have a lot of teams using Splunk and they would be blind without it.""ITSI's most valuable feature is that it's easy to integrate DLP.""One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""The most valuable feature is the Glass Tables.

Cons
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers.""The implementation can be more user-friendly.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that.""The deployment can be quite complex.""Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."

More Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Cons →

"We also faced challenges relating to UI development.""Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature.""After upgrading Splunk ITSI from version 4.11 to 4.13, the analyzer stopped finding values for KPS and services.""If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases.""The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards.""We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions.""Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal.""It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework."
