"The most valuable feature is the capability to gather logs and generate reports."
"The interface is simple and easy to navigate."
"The report templates are valuable. It works very well, and integrations also work well."
"I have found incident management and also identifying new threats, analyzing the network traffic, and finding out the issues with the network traffic such as any security issues to be valuable. I also like the compliance reports."
"We like the fact that we can run minute-by-minute reporting form this solution."
"The product works well with other products."
"Initial setup is ok."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."
"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."
"he cloud performance is good."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."
"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."
"It has end-to-end visibility into our cloud-native environment, which is pretty important for us. About 80% of our infrastructure is on AWS."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
"When it comes to pushing logs to a SIEM, most of the time we have some issues when it comes to filtering."
"The technical support is not very good."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not good at managing multi-version environments. If all your FortiGate are at different versions in the field, that's difficult. The one thing we didn't like is the fact you have to have 100% of your environment at the same release, which is not pleasant, to have it fully functional. You can have a different release, but to have it fully functional 100% of your environment has to be the same release."
"It is very important that FAZ can support FortiController as the architecture designed for the network. FortiController should be registered in FAZ at least for event logs."
"The product should be integrated with other third-party solutions for context exchange."
"The technical support is not very reliable."
"Technical support could respond to queries faster."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not scalable."
"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."
"The on-premises version of Splunk includes all the integrations, while the Cloud platform lacks certain integrations and is limited in terms of the number of supported apps."
"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 Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"Customization could be simplified."
"From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it."
"The only thing I would say is an issue is the cost. It matches other products. The costs can be justified for the value that we gain. The entire threat analysis stack should come in a bundle. If the cost was matchable with other products I think Splunk would pick up in the market."
"The pricing model makes the product costly."
