Data Security Intern at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

In terms of enhancement for Splunk Cloud Platform, I would say if we could create add-ons or if we get the capability to build add-ons directly through cloud, not talking about the add-on builder framework, but something editor-like where we will directly edit our conf files from any specific app or TA provided by Splunk Cloud Platform itself.

Automated patching has transformed our remote support and security reporting workflows

Since NinjaOne was implemented, I would say it represents a huge positive change. All our patching is now automated and does not require any manual work from my team, which has saved them a tremendous amount of time. The reporting capabilities are amazing. We have high visibility into which devices were fully patched and which require attention. NinjaOne has helped us secure all our endpoints, patch all the vulnerabilities, and keep our endpoints and servers up-to-date in patching. It has saved my team a tremendous amount of time in providing remote IT support to our users. Overall, we have highly benefited from NinjaOne.

Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes

Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.
