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.

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.

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 beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"Has a great search capability."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"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."

More DNIF HYPERCLOUD pros

"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."

"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring."

"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."

"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."

"Exporting is a good feature. It helps me out when I have to do reports. I do a lot of exporting and crunching of the numbers. Dashboards are okay for showing to the leadership, but for doing statistics and updating tickets, the export feature is very beneficial for me."

"The user interface is excellent, and since I'm using Splunk as a power user, it's easy to create dashboards."

"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."

"Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up."

More Splunk Enterprise Security pros

Cons

"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."

"The EBA could be improved."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"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."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"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."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."

"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."

"I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk."

"Many of my clients want to get better at Splunk, but they're afraid of using the tool because they feel it's too complex for them."

"Splunk needs local technical support."

"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."

"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It's costly."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"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 very complicated, and it is very pricey. You do require a lot of different licenses in order to get a comprehensive solution that is not just the SIEM solution."

"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."

"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."

"I think the price could be improved."

"The tool's pricing model is great. You can choose between workloads or volume."

"Splunk is expensive based on our current requirements, but it's obviously worth what we pay."

"It is quite expensive."

"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
