"The most valuable feature of the solution is the UI dashboard because we need to create a dashboard on Grafana to monitor our data."

"From my experience, the visual aid that it provides is most valuable. There are charts and other means to provide information."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."

"I haven't had the chance to properly sink my teeth into Enterprise Security but so far I like that they added the MITRE ATT&CK features."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"The formatting could be better."
"It is limited on the reporting type supported, which is important for managerial-level officers who want reports that are either general or specific."

"Trigger limits are difficult to see in a graph."
"Grafana need to improve the logging functionality."

"The look and feel of the charting and graph capabilities in Grafana could improve. If they provided a storyboard type of feature as they have in other solutions, such as PowerBI. The multi-tenanted and stitch metrics features could improve."
"There is room for improvement when using multiple dashboards because they can become complicated to keep track of and use."
"Its interface could be improved."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"The configuration could be better."
