"Provides good overall application performance and transaction errors."
"Immediately allows you to see the relationships between the different nodes."
"It's pretty stable."
"The analytics are great."
"We had no issues with scalability. It was very good for us."
"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."
"I have also been able to take advantage of some of the more complex statistical capabilities when analyzing logs."
"The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers two valuable features: the Common Information Model and arrangement modules."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"Application Analytics' performance in pure and native cloud environments could be improved."
"The user experience is quite confusing. There are too many different development stages. The UI is not very intuitive."
"The challenge in the installation is that you have to configure a lot of things manually. The way you install and configure it is not straightforward."
"This feature needs to be properly described to a client, and then the client needs to have a use case. There are some clients which do not need it and some clients who do. It is not for everyone and is dependant on their use case."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
"Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
