"The alerts are very effective.""Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up.""The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES.""Speeds up root cause analysis and can help identify issues that your organization never realized were occurring.""What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis.""From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful.""The initial setup isn't overly complex.""The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."

Cons
"Reporting is sometimes a little slow.""The pricing could be improved.""The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."

More Oracle Log Analytics Cloud Service Cons →

"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud.""There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources.""Their technical support sucks.""It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated.""There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup.""Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution.""We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better.""The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
