Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."

More Quest InTrust Pros →

"It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis.""It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature.""It provides a risk score for each object, device, or user. We can then take action if they are at a higher risk.""Splunk has significantly helped with aggregation and correlation of critical logs. Not having to grep on each individual server has made everyone more efficient.""Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees.""Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."

Cons
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​""​It needs to have better reporting. ​"

More Quest InTrust Cons →

"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that.""I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor.""The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files.""When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time.""This is a costly solution.""I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see.""Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes.""Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
