"Its price and the flexibility to deploy are the most valuable. Flexibility is very important, and you can scale from very basic to more complex. This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important.

"Splunk has helped improve our company's resilience level."
"Support is quick and competent."

"Splunk can be an expensive solution. Technical support could be improved as well."
"The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system."
"The glass table feature does not perform as expected."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
