Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 19, 2025

Splunk Enterprise Security and Coralogix are both influential contenders in the log management and security information management domains. Splunk, with its extensive integration capabilities and advanced threat detection features, provides an advantage for large enterprises seeking comprehensive monitoring solutions. Alternatively, Coralogix, while offering fewer features, appeals to cost-conscious businesses with its user-friendly deployment and efficient log management features.

Features: Splunk Enterprise Security is characterized by advanced threat detection capabilities, risk-based alerting, and customizable dashboards, integrating with a wide range of threat intelligence sources and application add-ons for extensive monitoring needs. In contrast, Coralogix emphasizes simple deployment and robust log analysis, featuring database-like querying and intuitive interfaces that cater to swift implementation and efficient log management for smaller enterprises.

Room for Improvement: Splunk presents challenges related to its complexity, substantial resource requirements, and a steep learning curve, which could benefit from more competitive pricing models and enhanced AI functionalities. Coralogix would benefit from developing its AI anomaly detection, improving Terraform support, and refining its user interface to be more intuitive and cost-efficient for users managing data volume-based pricing.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Splunk offers flexibility in deployment across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments but necessitates significant expertise and time, with generally positive but sometimes delayed customer support. Coralogix, primarily cloud-based, boasts straightforward deployment, particularly on AWS, coupled with responsive customer support, though it requires improvements in documentation and localized assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Splunk's pricing structure, dependent on data ingestion, often results in high costs for smaller organizations, with a positive ROI justified by its extensive feature set. Coralogix offers a more budget-friendly and transparent pricing model, making it attractive for small to mid-sized businesses seeking effective cost management despite having fewer features than Splunk.

Presales Engineer at Crayon

Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

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 overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

"Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."

More Coralogix pros

"The features I find most valuable in Splunk Enterprise Security are Incident Review, Security Essentials, Asset and Identity Management, and Machine Learning Toolkit."

"Everything I'm seeing now in Splunk Enterprise Security is effective, especially the AI and the Attack Analyzer, which I found particularly impressive."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pros

Cons

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

"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."

"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."

"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

More Coralogix cons

"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."

"It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support."

"The upgrading process could be smoother."

"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is great but can have some frustration points. It can sometimes be slower to use."

"While Splunk Enterprise Security is powerful, it presents significant complexity for users, as it's not particularly user-friendly for beginners."

"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."

"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"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."

"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."

"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."

"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."

"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."

"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."

"Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."

"As a team, we prefer the old pricing model with a perpetual license. We are still evaluating the whole subscription-based model."

"Regarding the product's pricing, I think it has always been difficult to have a conversation with Splunk."
