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

"The correlation rules and the user platform are most 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."
"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"After implementing Splunk Enterprise Security, we have seen the downtime reduced approximately 30 to 40%."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"I have also been able to take advantage of some of the more complex statistical capabilities when analyzing logs."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has helped speed up our security investigations."
"We use the solution as a log collector, and to analyze and provide alerts from the IT instructor."
"AI in Splunk Enterprise Security improves the accuracy, and the AI feature has helped me reduce false positive alerts, which prevented me from wasting time on junk alerts and separating the noise from the actual true positive alerts."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the management and built-in workflows."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
 

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"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 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."
"The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved by addressing the content management interface, which is very outdated, slow, and clunky; sometimes we think things are saved and they haven't."
"The setup time is quite long."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"The access and identity features could be improved. For example, let's say we have onboarded 65 logs. Now, we can identify the various processes, but we run into trouble when we're updating the processes for AWS CloudTrail, EDR, MDR, and XDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"It is economical than other solutions."
"We had a yearly subscription."
"Truly evaluate the data you want to ingest and go slow. Pulling in data that can provide no use to your mission only wastes data against your license."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
