Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature of WhatsUp Gold is NetFlow and the virtualized maps."
"It is easy to access and discover devices, as well as monitor them automatically. The topology discover is also a useful feature."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of resources."
"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"The user interface is good enough."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."

"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."
"The interface needs some work."
"The product is old and not updated."
"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."
"The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system."
