Makes monitoring your environment easier with the help of this tools. You don't have to transverse the network looking for hostname to IP or IP to username. This program does it. Moreover, it monitor traffic like a firewall with the rules of the firewall.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's still web base. Meaning, if your have a lot of internal traffic, site loads will differ. Your mileage will vary, that is my only complaint about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to save time by having a tool like Splunk to work along my Palo Alto Firewall. The PA is great, but doesn't do reporting well. Spunk makes finding malware to websites that a user takes easier. Save me a bunch of time and well worth the money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to save time, use this awesome software for logs, monitor hosts across networks, reporting, and malware.

Still have to read through many documentation to find the answers and at many times I can't find it. Not highly customized, would be helpful if they can provide more customization tools.
