"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"It gives me notifications of notable events."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"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."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by including backup network detection and response and safe management to the paid platform."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
