Pros
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Pros →

"The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit.""What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis.""The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good.""On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures.""Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses.""Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs.""We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing.""There are lots of free learning materials on their website."

Cons
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Cons →

"Splunk Enterprise Security could improve in automation, flexibility, and providing more content out of the box.""A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way.""Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements.""Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market.""The threat management part is still lagging. There are some gaps in threat management. Other vendors have built-in threat management systems, but Splunk lacks the threat management component in its portal. The UEBA and everything else is perfect, but it lacks a unified threat intelligence and management part.""There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources.""It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times.""The glass table feature does not perform as expected."
