We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM), Quest InTrust, and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"It needs to have better reporting. "
"It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. "
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"I think the machine learning should be emphasized. Now, it's really important to analyze Big Data, data mining. A SIEM solution, like Splunk, needs an improved data mining solution, artificial intelligence."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
