Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Overall we are satisfied with all the features the solution provides."
"The solution provides good standardized reports and is easy to troubleshoot."
"From my perspective, we need to see the traffic in a good way so we can know what has happened in our network. The analyzing tools and the monitoring tools and the logs are the important part in the network."
"We use this functionality every day, and obtain reports on things like how many people are using the VPN, which websites are being accessed, and whether hackers are trying to penetrate into our network."
"This solution offers one view of incident management which has been the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is to be able to see everything in our network in a single task. A single menu and the graphical bar charts that it provides to give insights are very useful. It also gives very good metrics on bandwidth utilization, CPU, and device performance. It is very simple and easy to use as well."
"It gives us reporting features, which are helpful in the case of troubleshooting and audit purposes."
"The program is stable and it gives me great visibility."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
"The log search capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup."
"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."
"It has definitely improved our organization by virtue of reducing the amount of overhead we would have had for those environments. Having to implement, maintain, or even update the existing stuff would have been extremely time-consuming. Splunk Cloud handles all of that for us. So it's definitely been helpful from that perspective. It's allowed them to maintain upgrades for far further than they are. Some of the hosts of that environment were still on version 7 so they could get upgraded feature parity."
"Dashboards and alerting are the most valuable features. The dashboards let us see how the system looks in terms of anomalies, and the alerts trigger us to go and look at what possible problems are happening."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer needs to have more out-of-the-box connectors for integration with other solutions."
"When it comes to pushing logs to a SIEM, most of the time we have some issues when it comes to filtering."
"The traffic monitoring could be better, and stability could be improved."
"Pricing-wise, it not affordable for the normal customer. Most of the people want to see different types of reporting, but FortiAnalyzer's fee is a little bit difficult."
"When somebody is new to the system they find it difficult to perform certain operations, like backups, and to see where the reports are."
"The cloud version can be expensive. If the customers could get the resources to store the logs on-premises, it would be much better."
"The only issue that I can see is with the cost. For example, if you buy support for one year, you are messed up next year. It's better to buy another gateway."
"We would like to do the reporting, logging, and administration of all the public devices and all the IoT devices. We wish to add the switches, and routers from different vendors, so it's not a vendor-specific diagnostic solution."
"There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"The pricing model makes the product costly."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"The dashboards should be easier to customize."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
