"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"This is a good security product."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"There are occasional bugs."
