"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.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage.""The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."

Cons
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The product could be easy to use.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""The product's setup should be easier.""The usability must be better.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"They need more EDR functionalities.""The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""The implementation can be more user-friendly.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
