Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom and others in DX NetOps."This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The integration point."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Splunk has significantly helped with aggregation and correlation of critical logs. Not having to grep on each individual server has made everyone more efficient."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the logs, which allow us to identify what happened and who interacted with the web repository."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the dashboard. It's very intuitive."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"Splunk has facilitated the correlation of information security logs to look for incidents which could cause damage to the company's infrastructure, as well as financial losses from leaks."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"It is important to make sure that everything is built off of the threat models and all the underlying items within Splunk."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
"My biggest struggle with Splunk in general is memorizing all the commands. If I want to know which users have logged in between certain hours, I cannot write that query out. It would be helpful to have AI so that I can explain in simple terms what I want and then the search gives that back to me. I am waiting for that."
"The price has room for improvement."
"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."
