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."

"We can have a 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."

"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."

"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."

"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."

"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."

"Splunk Enterprise Security allows us to create custom dashboards by changing fonts and modifying widgets."

"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."

"If properly built, I'm very impressed with the stability of Splunk ES."

"The client site login is pretty extensible and probably cost-effective."

"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."

"I think the licensing costs for Splunk Enterprise Security are on the higher side, but I am not certain."

"Due to the size limit, we could not see the full product."

"The incident response technique should be available out of the box. That isn't as available as we would expect."

"The price is a significant concern. It is expensive and is designed for enterprise companies, not for small or medium-sized companies."

"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."

"Splunk needs local technical support."

"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."

"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication."

More Splunk Enterprise Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."

"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."

"I work on the technical side, so I don't know precise figures. However, I know that Splunk is a premium product, so it's somewhat costly. Still, you get a lot of unique features for the money."

"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."

"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."

"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."

"It is quite expensive."

"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
