"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."

"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."

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 complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
