Has powerful event correlations and is stable, scalable, and easy to set up
We use it for insider threat prevention with iPhones and to identify bad practices that block business processes I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful. Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities,…

It's more user-friendly than other solutions we tried, but it could use more features like process mining and automation
We have an application running for our e-commerce site, and we use Splunk primarily to detect anomalous behavior like false orders and other bot-related threats. Splunk helps us analyze and eliminate threats using machine learning.  Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
