Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data.""AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture.""We really like the scalability capabilities.""With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse.""When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,""The most valuable feature is performance monitoring.""The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance.""It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."

"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases.""Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. ​""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.""UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature.""It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial.""Positive features include replication capabilities, software development kits, and the architecture.""The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful.""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."

Cons
"The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data.""The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal.""The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward.""If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance.""Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors.""Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."

More Alluvio AppResponse Cons →

"There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup.""More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results.""Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use. It would be good if they can make it easier to understand how to create search queries. They can improve the knowledge base for better understanding. To create your dashboard, you need to have a search query. We have multiple firewalls in our company, and we need a dashboard for them. It would be helpful if a default firewall dashboard is included in Splunk to make monitoring easier. If a dashboard is available for a security device, the operation part will be more efficient. We won't have to follow a manual process for this.""The threat detection system has room for improvement.""For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster.""This is a costly solution.""Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help.""We had an instance when Splunk failed and it took us a couple of days to recover."
