"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"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."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The search lookups are useful."
"With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM"
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"I really like the user interface and how it works."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"It's very flexible. If you look from the cloud implementation it is there. Reports are made quickly. Unlike other tools, it caters to all kinds of technical information on the front very easily. There's no need to put in any technical information. You can pull on the reports very easily, take action, and notify stakeholders."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"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."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"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."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"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."
"The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
