"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI."
"On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data."

"The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that."
"I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
"It would be good if the solution had some kind of copilot to automate or help write correlation searches."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"The only thing which can be improved is that they are too subjective on whom their Splunk4Good initiative can be applied. They market it as you only need to be a nonprofit, but there is more to it."
