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

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"Splunk simplifies real-time problem identification and resolution by seamlessly integrating existing customer and vendor systems."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"The product is adept at log mining."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"I can create dashboards to collect and view information in a tabular, graphical format. This feature is important because it helps me understand time-series data over one or two hours."
"It has increased our business resilience. It's a top-of-the-line SIEM security product. It's the best tool for our security analysts which helps them do their job better. That then protects our company from adversary actors."
"It gives us good visibility into multiple environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid; irrespective of platform."
 

Cons

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"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 user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."
"Splunk's high cost, despite its recognition in our region, prevents many organizations from adopting Splunk Enterprise Security, suggesting there's room for improvement in their pricing strategy."
"Stability is there, but every release has some bugs."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. Technical support could be improved as well."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is complicated in terms of developing specific cybersecurity use cases."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"Splunk Enterprise Security incurs a significant cost because of the amount of data we send, but we are fine with the value we're getting for that price."
"While some clients find the cost of Splunk Enterprise Security to be on the higher end, its pricing is comparable to other SIEM solutions."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"The tool's pricing model is great. You can choose between workloads or volume."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"Splunk has always been on the expensive side."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
