Pros
"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud.""Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable.""The APIs are valuable.""All of the features of this product are quite good.""The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience."

More Google Cloud Datalab Pros →

"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end.""We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions.""The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well.""Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases.""It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market.""We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system.""Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature.""Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience.""Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience.""The product must be made more user-friendly."

More Google Cloud Datalab Cons →

"​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​""It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded.""We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now.""I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk.""Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported.""The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments.""On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud.""We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
