Pros
"The machine learning feature is valuable."

More Centerity Monitor Pros →

"We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system.""It gives me notifications of notable events.""The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs.""Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later.""Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues.""Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful.""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""One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities."

Cons
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."

More Centerity Monitor Cons →

"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine.""Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky.""The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues.""Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly.""I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions.""It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department.""The analytics of Splunk could be improved.""Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."

Centerity’s unique, unified platform, named a Gartner Cool Vendor in ITOM, can serve the needs of both IT executives and administrators while providing a complete business intelligence layer across all IT assets via cross technical and functional domain impact and trend analysis through its Business Service Management (BSM) capabilities.
