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

"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"The user interface is excellent, and since I'm using Splunk as a power user, it's easy to create dashboards."
"The product is good, it satisfies our customers."
"Splunk Enterprise Security would provide better capabilities and out-of-box detections."
"Before Splunk, we used Kibana and Elasticsearch; sometimes, with them, logs wouldn't even be there, so Splunk being there and working does a lot."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is so easy as it scales with us as we grow."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The search query seems slow, but I am not sure if that is just because it is searching millions upon millions of lines of text."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"The incident response dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
"Regarding pricing, Splunk Enterprise Security is on the higher side in terms of cost. It is more suitable for enterprises that can fully utilize its capabilities, and smaller organizations might find it expensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of data and licensing models."
"Cost is something which is a major factor."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"The CIM model is the method Splunk uses to normalize data and categorize its important parts, but it is quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"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."
"It can be cost-prohibitive when you start to scale and have terabytes of data. Its cost model is based on how much data it processes a day. If they're able to create scaled-down niche or custom package offerings, it may help with the cost. Instead of the full-blown features, if they can narrow the scope where it can only be used for a specific purpose, it would kind of create that market for the product, and it may help with the costing. When you start using it as a central aggregator and you're pumping tons of logs at it, pretty soon, you'll start hitting your cap on what it can process a day. Once you've got that, you're kind of defeating the purpose because you're going to have to scale back."
"Splunk is really expensive compared to all the other tools on the market, including Microsoft Sentinel."
"As a team, we prefer the old pricing model with a perpetual license. We are still evaluating the whole subscription-based model."
"The price is comparable."
"It would be nice if the pricing were cheaper. However, we did purchase it."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
