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

"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"It has increased our business resilience. It's a top-of-the-line SIEM security product. It's the best tool for our security analysts which helps them do their job better. That then protects our company from adversary actors."
"Since Splunk is a platform for data, we can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"Incident detection is the positive impact I have seen from Splunk Enterprise Security; it probably saved the company from financial losses because of the early detection of the incidents."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"From a visibility perspective, the solution has significantly improved our organization by providing a single platform to visualize our entire IT landscape."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"If you are an enterprise and you need the best service for critical business analysis, Splunk would be one of the best choices."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"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."
"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."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
"Could be more user friendly."
"There is another new term called benign positives. It is better to clearly identify each definition of those terms since it has not been popular in the industry, and everyone needs to be aware of those things."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security is a great product, I observe a few challenges compared to other products. The first challenge is the licensing cost, which is significantly high, especially for organizations generating a large volume of logs common in the energy sector."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"I think that most of the log analytics solutions are expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth it."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"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 is really expensive."
"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."
"Splunk has always been on the expensive side."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
"While some clients find the cost of Splunk Enterprise Security to be on the higher end, its pricing is comparable to other SIEM solutions."
