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.

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 dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"The benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"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."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment, and we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk so we can monitor them and present to the managers and customers, making it a very good solution for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."
"Splunk has a very knowledgeable support staff and the Splunk support website is outstanding."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"The performance is very good; it's something that customers are always looking for, and the product offers good stability with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it reliable."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"They are a good partner for Google Cloud. It provides great visibility, threat detection, and proactive mitigation of risks for our mutual consumers."
"Splunk's support is better, and its reporting is easier and better."
 

Cons

"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"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."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"I used version 8 which was not at all stable. The services and processor keep going down, we had to manually keep them up increasing storage space because services are down, and logs not processed."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The EBA could be improved."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product."
"Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"The product was designed for security and IT with business intelligence needs, such as PDF exporting, but this has not been the highest priority. While the functionality is there, it could be developed more."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"Some of the queries are difficult to run and have room for improvement."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"In my opinion, it is too expensive for our projects."
 

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 pricing is based on the log size."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"I assume that the pricing is reasonable, because if it was too costly, there are other alternatives."
"The pricing is based on the volume of data fed into it, which can lead to substantial costs. This pricing model is complex and unpredictable, making cost management difficult."
"Splunk should be able to integrate with other product using the free version."
"It is expensive. I work for multiple clients. I am working for more than five clients, but most of the clients are switching from Splunk to Sentinel because of the cost. Even though Sentinel is very limited, clients are moving to Sentinel."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
