"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing.""It's a very easy-to-use solution.""Great monitoring of network devices.""The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis.""The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment.""The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything.""The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."

Cons
"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation.""The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,""What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.""The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."

"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it.""We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""The implementation can be more user-friendly.""They need more EDR functionalities.""The price has room for improvement.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
