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.

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"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 dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"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."
"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 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
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"Splunk is user-friendly. We can easily customize the monitoring script."
"The benefits include the easy integration with other Splunk tools including Splunk UEBA, Splunk ITSI, and Splunk Core. The ease of integration and the organization's experience and familiarity with searching and passing logs through Splunk are the main benefits."
"The correlation searches (properly configured) populate the Incident Management dashboard and provide me a quick birds-eye view of my most important concerns."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most."
"The search lookups are useful."
More Splunk Enterprise Security pros
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement."
"For us, the area that Splunk Enterprise Security can improve is performance optimization."
"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."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"There's been a big push for SBC compute over the ingestion model, which will hamper us."
More Splunk Enterprise Security cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"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."
"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
"Splunk is not free."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"While some clients find the cost of Splunk Enterprise Security to be on the higher end, its pricing is comparable to other SIEM solutions."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."
"The licensing is good, but the pricing absolutely needs some work. It is very high."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
