Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"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."
"We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations."
"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"Its interface could be improved."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
