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.

Pros

"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."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"Splunk has enabled us to detect, even predict potential security issues, before they become severe."
"We used it to create a custom anomaly detection data model to monitor the activity of our back-end services on an hourly basis relative to the past three months of activity."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the criticality of alerts."
"We are satisfied with Splunk Enterprise Security, and it comes with a wide number of out-of-the-box applications which do help us to fix the problems."
"Splunk Enterprise Security enhances business resilience and assists with threat detection by centralizing security data."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"It is lovely to have everything we need in one tool. Everything is quite centralized."
"Splunk was good for us because of the support, the documentation, the scalability, the stability."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"One improvement I want to foresee is that the AI or agent needs to be fed with accurate data, not false data, so that whenever it performs automation on your behalf, it doesn't misconfigure anything."
"Stability is there, but every release has some bugs."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"The problem with Splunk Enterprise Security generally, from what I've seen in the last couple of years, is that it has a cultural, assumption design model around it, which means the company has to fit its internal processes in terms of how to use it."
"Splunk should have more regional data centers in the Middle East."
"I would like more assistance with use cases and help with teaching us how to use it once it's installed."
"The most significant challenges I face when using Splunk Enterprise Security for advanced threat detection include not having enough time to be in it, the resources and people to also be in there, and trying to configure it and teach people how to use it. A lack of resources prevents us from giving it the attention it needs."
"Splunk Enterprise Security incurs a significant cost because of the amount of data we send, but we are fine with the value we're getting for that price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"Splunk has always been on the expensive side."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"It is not cheap."
"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."
"My experience with the solution's setup cost, pricing, and licensing was really good."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. It all depends on how we configure the alerts and the events from the endpoints. You can save some money if you do that correctly. If not, it becomes an expensive solution."
