Provides monitoring and reporting with limited features and room for dashboard improvement
I would rate scalability five out of ten. I did not use it extensively. I cannot evaluate all the components as we have a limited license, allowing us to test only a few areas. That is why I cannot rate areas with which I am not familiar. We monitor limited components with this tool and need licensing for integrating third-party components. Therefore, evaluating those areas is not possible.
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

"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"It was easy to set up."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"Overall, Splunk is among the top three SIEM tools due to its capabilities and agility in bridging business analytics with security needs."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
 

Cons

"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
"The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"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."
"You can run a script from an event, but it needs many clicks to run that integration, which could be made easier."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My customers have found the price of the solution to be high."
"Its pricing model can be improved."
"The variables and the flexibility that Splunk provides are helpful, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment."
"I am not personally involved with the pricing of the solution."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
"It is possible to use a developer's license, which is up to 10GB per day of volume traffic, which is usually enough for most use cases."
