"Making Tenable.io talk to Splunk"
5/5
What do you like best about Splunk Enterprise?

Integrating Tenable.io with Splunk was far easier than I initially thought. All thanks to a nifty Plugin that does all the hard work for you.

Enter your details in the plugin for both sides of communication, and there you go. It can't get easier than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Splunk Enterprise?

The plugin only worked on version 4, which gave some issues in the beginning, but after upgrading, all went well.

Only other potential issue i foresee is that newbies might get a little overwhelmed with the cheer amount of data that can be imported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
