"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"The search lookups are useful."
"We can easily configure things as required in relation to our use cases."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"The log aggregation is great."
"The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"The product has a good security posture."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."
"It works as intended for us, and we are getting everything that we need out of it. If anything, its initial setup can be improved a bit."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
