Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The most useful feature for me is the ability to create different kinds of alerts and set a different kind of denominator that will capture the real event. That is helpful for a power user like me."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"Splunk Enterprise Security allows us to create custom dashboards by changing fonts and modifying widgets."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"The risk-based alerting is excellent."
"Splunk's interface is user-friendly, and it has apps and add-ons for most applications. We can easily normalize the data to make it readable and understand the logs. We easily get all the field extractions and enrichment done by using the apps and add-ons. This helps us understand the application logs because the raw data is useless unless we extract some useful information from it. These add-ons make it so much easier."
 

Cons

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"Most importantly, Splunk can be outrageously expensive. That is the problem with both Splunk and Sentinel. Their pricing literally explodes based on the amount of data you feed in."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved mainly from the user interface regarding the visualizations."
"Customizing our commands should be simpler. Creating custom commands in Splunk requires a long, complex process. For example, we have a command to add all the column data, but we don't have a command to get the average of the column data at the end. It would be useful to have a blank at the end to create our commands and leave the rest to others."
"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."
"Improving the infrastructure behind Splunk Enterprise Security is vital—enhanced cores, CPUs, and memory should be prioritized to support better processing power. When we execute heavy, resource-intensive queries over long periods, the performance dips."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"The tool's licensing is good and we haven't received any complaints from the team handling it."
"Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
"I assume that the pricing is reasonable, because if it was too costly, there are other alternatives."
"Splunk has always been on the expensive side."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"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."
