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.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

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."
"The benefits my company has seen from the use of Splunk Enterprise Security revolve around the speed of detection it offers."
"We solve issues that we previously could not since we now have the data."
"I like the ease with which dashboards can be created."
"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."
"Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the aggregation of all the logs in one place, using enterprise securities built-in or ESCU use cases to find them."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"Good for log collection and log management."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"The high cost of Splunk Enterprise Security prevented us from using its full capabilities."
"Its performance can be better. Sometimes, it takes longer when we do queries."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​"
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The pricing is based on the volume of data fed into it, which can lead to substantial costs. This pricing model is complex and unpredictable, making cost management difficult."
"Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
