Provides real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution
INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems. It shows quickly the root cause of problems, and can give specific details from the transaction (from when the transaction started). It shows a lot of details related to that transaction. * It's a non-intrusive solution. * It provides real-time information alerts. * We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution. The customer can save time and money because it's a way of detecting the root cause of problems. For banks, it helps customers from fraud that many banks are experiencing. Therefore, customers can be more secure in their transactions, and banks can monitor fraud.

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

"It provides real-time information alerts."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"Regarding the impact on threat detection capabilities, it provides a faster mean time to detect."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's biggest advantage is the ecosystem, as the large ecosystem can detect threats from a variety of devices, including firewalls and antivirus software, and because it has many built-in rules for detection already, I do not write many playbooks from scratch, which helps me get started on threat detection faster and enables me to predict, identify, and solve problems in real time so security incidents can be prevented."
"The compatibility with the add-ons helps us add more data in the same compatible format and use data models to elaborate and make it faster."
"The biggest advantage I can see in Splunk Enterprise Security is the big data analytics."
"The search and query feature is very fast but due to the log size limit (in trial version), we did not get the full benefit."
"We use the solution as a log collector, and to analyze and provide alerts from the IT instructor."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as good, as I have not had any issues with it."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not exactly user-friendly."
"For instance, if a DLP operations analyst accesses the platform, it should guide them to navigate predefined content for their role. That's something I've already mentioned to them, and I'm eager to see what happens next."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"The Enterprise Security app could be improved. We have had trouble with it working from the first day."
"The huge price increases that have been experienced over the last couple of years do not appear to be justified by new features or items in general."
"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."
"It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The licensing costs are high for Splunk Enterprise Security."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"It's definitely worth it."
"I would highly recommend anyone evaluating this option to download the free trial which allows for the ingestion of 500MB of data per day in order to get a feel for what Splunk does at its core. It will get pricey once your ingestion rates start to sky rocket, but I would consider it expensive given the amount of information that it allows you to analyze and react on straight out-of-the-box."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"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."
"From what I have seen so far, Splunk has multiple cost models. The one that we are using is pretty good when it comes to ingesting data into the environment. It has worked out pretty well."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
