Cons
"The dashboard needs to improve.""We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities.""The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."

More Avantra Cons →

"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets.""My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it.""Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize.""The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed.""Queries are not always as easy or straightforward as they might be, so it can be difficult to figure out what you need to look for.""There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup.""The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.""Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
