Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 5, 2025

Splunk Enterprise Security and DNIF HYPERCLOUD both compete in the realm of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Splunk appears to have the upper hand with its extensive feature set and integrations, although DNIF HYPERCLOUD offers an affordable option for those on a tighter budget.

Features: Splunk Enterprise Security stands out for its comprehensive log management capabilities, operational intelligence, and robust searching and alerting features. It offers proven scalability and flexibility, making it a robust solution for compliance and business metric visibility. Its ability to integrate with various applications enhances its appeal as a centralized data management tool. DNIF HYPERCLOUD, while focusing on affordability, handles high event processing rates efficiently and is suitable for new SOC implementations on limited budgets. It offers core SIEM functionalities essential for an organization.

Room for Improvement: Splunk could benefit from improvements in GUI usability, customization options, and simplified configuration processes. Its high pricing and the need for enhanced documentation and support are noted drawbacks. DNIF HYPERCLOUD needs better integration capabilities and wider device support to minimize dependency on technical support. Expanding marketing efforts and improving the user-friendly query interface would enhance its appeal.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Splunk supports a variety of deployment models including on-premises, hybrid cloud, and public cloud, offering flexibility but often requires extensive expertise. Its customer service is generally responsive but could improve in efficiency. DNIF HYPERCLOUD boasts a simpler and more economical setup, ideal for smaller environments. However, customer service experiences vary, with some users noting delays and less hands-on support.

Pricing and ROI: Splunk is known for its premium pricing, justified by its extensive features, with costs based on data ingestion which can become challenging for smaller businesses. It’s seen as a worthwhile investment for enterprises needing a robust solution. DNIF HYPERCLOUD provides a cost-effective option with a pricing model based on log volume, optimal for organizations with budget constraints, though it might not fulfill the needs of larger enterprises requiring complex features.

Featured Reviews

Kishore Tiwari - PeerSpot reviewer
Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."
"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"Has a great search capability."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
More DNIF HYPERCLOUD pros
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."
"Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Splunk has significantly helped with aggregation and correlation of critical logs. Not having to grep on each individual server has made everyone more efficient."
More Splunk Enterprise Security pros
 

Cons

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"The EBA could be improved."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The configuration had a bit of a learning curve."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"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."
"Some of the queries are difficult to run and have room for improvement."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"Due to its high licensing cost, Splunk is out of reach for many organizations."
"Splunk should have more regional data centers in the Middle East."
More Splunk Enterprise Security cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a worthwhile investment given the comprehensive range of features it offers."
"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."
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
"It is not cheap."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"It is economical than other solutions."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
