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.

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

Pros

"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"I find it beneficial that Splunk Enterprise Security easily integrates with other tools. Due to its excellent API capabilities, it facilitates connections with various cybersecurity tools."
"The consolidated overview of all the events that come in through our environment and an easy-to-access interface for all our end users are valuable."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
"I really appreciate the all-integrated SIEM feature of Splunk Enterprise Security, which serves as a one-stop shop to get all security tasks done."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."
"Splunk has significantly helped with aggregation and correlation of critical logs. Not having to grep on each individual server has made everyone more efficient."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The way Splunk Enterprise Security could improve is by pulling in and mapping my DHCP data and tracking users' IP addresses as it changes throughout sessions, and being able to keep track of who is actually assigned to what IP address more natively."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"Search head clustering is often temperamental in its current state and should be improved, replaced by something better, or be reverted to search head pooling."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers a vast amount of information to learn and comprehend, resulting in a challenging initial learning curve."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"In terms of training. I find that some things about Splunk aren't well-explained. I see features and then go to the website but don't find good explanations."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"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."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"Luckily, we come under a large federal agency, and before the pandemic, they signed a large enterprise license agreement. It worked out great and to our advantage because we are a small organization. We got a 300 gig license, and we just did not have the buying power to be able to get products cheaply. Because we all partnered together under the agency umbrella, we were able to get Splunk Enterprise Security, UBA, and ITSI for cheap. This was good considering the fact that some of these premium apps require a minimum number of users, and we do not have the number of people needed to even justify buying it."
"Splunk should be able to integrate with other product using the free version."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is somewhat high, but comparing it with its benefits, it's acceptable. It depends on the type of business."
"It is not cheap."
