"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."
"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."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The customization is a little bit difficult."

"I have used technical support and they could improve."
"The IPS monitoring can be improved."
"It would be better if they had a dashboard where we could see what attacks were happening. It would be good to see who's trying to get into our network."
"Fortinet FortiGate IPS could improve the configuration. In some use cases, there can be some configuration conflicts."
"They should add a feature for detailed reporting."
"The tool is expensive for small businesses, making it an area where the tool can improve the product by making it available at a cheaper rate."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"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."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
