"To get visibility from your network devices, servers, and security devices is a great feature.""The Splunk queries are valuable.""With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM""It has quite extensive support in terms of integration. If you want to do anything, there are tools for that.""The correlation searches (properly configured) populate the Incident Management dashboard and provide me a quick birds-eye view of my most important concerns.""it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware.""It scales better in the cloud than on-premise.""The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."

Cons
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer.""They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""There are some bugs or glitches."

More Pulseway Cons →

"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning).""We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now.""The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex.""We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure.""I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well.""Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data.""On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud.""The product could be cheaper."
