Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.

Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"Good for log collection and log management."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"Incident detection is the positive impact I have seen from Splunk Enterprise Security; it probably saved the company from financial losses because of the early detection of the incidents."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"Search language is easy to understand and teach to new users."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is the dashboard."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's most valuable features are its stability and the robust Splunk Search Processing Language, allowing extensive customization and analysis capabilities."
 

Cons

"Reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The on-premise integration with SOAR could be more simple; the cloud version integrates with SOAR very easily, but the on-premise SOAR and on-premise Splunk Enterprise Security are really not that easy, so I would appreciate if that could be improved."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"The solution's automation could be improved."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by having more focus on the data health monitoring aspect, which will definitely be helpful."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not a cheap product, but I think it is worth every dollar that you pay."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"I remember Splunk being relatively affordable. Kibana was more reasonable, but you get more with Splunk. If I was suggesting something, I would probably suggest Splunk because it is better to pay a little bit more and get a lot more."
"It is not cheap."
"Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"We have seen ROI and improvements as we have continued to use the product, but they are more reactive."
