Featured Reviews

Zuhair Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
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

"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"It has quite extensive support in terms of integration, and if you want to do anything, there are tools for that."
"From using Splunk Enterprise Security, I have already seen benefits such as tracking alert fatigue in my team, especially with the SOC Operations dashboard and the Executive Dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is the threat intelligence integration because essentially having to go out and correlate all the data on our own becomes convoluted."
"Technical support and the online community are some of the best for any product."
"It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology."
"In my experience, Splunk Enterprise Security detects incidents approximately 20% much faster than other tools."
"One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us."
"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data."
 

Cons

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security is powerful, it presents significant complexity for users, as it's not particularly user-friendly for beginners."
"We don't have SOAR products from Splunk. I believe that's an important piece."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs. It's a bit pricey right now."
"The most significant challenges I face when using Splunk Enterprise Security for advanced threat detection include not having enough time to be in it, the resources and people to also be in there, and trying to configure it and teach people how to use it. A lack of resources prevents us from giving it the attention it needs."
"It'd be really nice if Splunk Enterprise Security had a better and solid configuration guide."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
"Visualizations can improve. There are some performance and stability issues with the visualization layer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"It is possible to use a developer's license, which is up to 10GB per day of volume traffic, which is usually enough for most use cases."
"The subscription is monthly."
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"Splunk is priced higher than other solutions."
"My customers have found the price of the solution to be high."
"The solution is costly."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
