Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
Although Cisco Prime [LAN Management Solution] is a nice tool and no other 4rd party tools can match its native monitoring and managing capabilities still i have given less rating and that's because it is only for Cisco vendor Devices. Hence if you have only Cisco infrastructure then go for it or else look for another 4rd party tool in conjunction with Cisco prime.

Pros: Splunk is very well suited if you have multiple log sources of related data. All of them can be correlated and tasks can be automated based on the requirement. Other than alerts, Splunk can also run a specific script of your choice, based on some defined conditions. Cons: If you have a few logs but a large number of log sources, Splunk can be very expensive.

Pros
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
- Wireless file detection and planning mode has helped us expand into new areas of our buildings.
- Alerting is detailed when we have issues with hardwired and wireless devices, and Rogue Access Points are easily identifiable.
- Cisco equipment information is much more detailed than other management products' SNMP queries and is an excellent tool for troubleshooting end-device connectivity issues.
- Our KPI reporting for senior management and centralized management of our WIPS 'Wireless Intrusion Prevention' setup have both benefited significantly from the detailed reporting capabilities.

- Real-time + Scheduled alerts - i-e you can set up alerts which are actively monitoring your logs
- Pretty good response time for search results. With our key/value logging, Splunk makes it blazing fast to query the data.
- Dashboards provide insights into historical data
- Love how Splunk indexes all of the data and provides keys to search on

Cons
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
- Maps. One thing that I miss is the fact that you can't see both wired and wireless equipment in the same topology map. For visualization and troubleshooting purposes, that would help a lot, and I honestly don' t think it's that much harder to implement.
- I'd love to see an option to show 'live dashboards,' maps, or other visual tools to publish in a NOC room, or even just to broadcast in a big monitor to allow multiple workmates to check that information. Again, I don't think that would be too hard to implement. I remember a similar feature was available in the first versions of the product, way back in the 90's (yes, I'm that old :-) )
- Sometimes, depending on what screen you are, the solution can be a little slow. I'm not saying the whole system is slow, but sometimes that slowness can bother a little.
- Talking about areas for improvement, one area I think can be improved is the upgrade process. Even for not so large deployments, it can take a lot of time. Having this time decreased would be the right thing to do.

- At times some queries can run slowly if indices are not on a portion of the query you use.
- Setup time initially can be difficult if your logs aren't stored in common locations or in a common way to write the log.
- Ability to ingest logs from different locations without having to change code to put logs in a certain place (pro and con).
- Searches can be a bit more difficult to look through if your log isn't pulled in a manner that is easy to read through splunk.

We are using Splunk extensively in our projects and we have recently upgraded to Splunk version 6.0 which is quite efficient and giving expected results. We keep track of updates and new features Splunk introduces periodically and try to introduce those features in our day to day activities for improvement in our reporting system and other tasks.

You can literally throw in a single word into Splunk and it will pull back all instances of that word across all of your logs for the time span you select (provided you have permission to see that data). We have several users who have taken a few of the free courses from Splunk that are able to pull data out of it everyday with little help at all.

Splunk maintains a well resourced support system that has been consistent since we purchased the product. They help out in a timely manner and provide expert level information as needed. We typically open cases online and communicate when possible via e-mail and are able to resolve most issues with that method.

There are various 3rd party tools available in the market which not only supports monitoring of cisco devices but also supports non-cisco devices, even with these capabilities in these 3rd party tools Cisco Prime has maintained a uniqueness in its products being the native tool from Cisco. The uniqueness is about product supportability for given devices and some of the edge features such as configuration management, detailed heatmaps etc

I wanted to learn a new language that I can quickly master and implement. Splunk is easy, fun to use and best of all, it can be developed in hours not days or weeks. Splunk is fundamentally a programming language that is minimal but yet powerful enough to collect, analyze and visualize data.

Return on Investment
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution
- It has helped us with our quarterly wireless security testing by pinpointing the location of non-approved access points vs. hunting for them via signal strength.
- Saves time by helping to identify network health issues before they become a definitive problem causing downtime.
- With errors detected early, we have noticed our wi-fi network is much more stable thus freeing up our engineer's time elsewhere.

- Overall very positive. It has provided visibility to what is going on within our network.
- One drawback is the time it takes to get up to speed with the application, but this is up to the user, and Splunk education is excellent.
- In my field, IT Security, there are few other friends to have in your back pocket better than Splunk. They are just that good.
