"The data representation options in the dashboards are excellent.""In the past we used the different application to collect logs. We used SurfWatch and VMware to do so. But, we found that the Splunk has more capacity to do more in less time. They provide a aster speed to index all the events , and this is a huge asset.""We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company.""Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution.""The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful.""There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed.""The correlation capabilities are the first value that our clients say they like with Splunk.""You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."

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

More Oracle Log Analytics Cloud Service Cons →

"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication.""Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply.""​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.​""Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes.""If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems.""I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
