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

"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."
"I like the ease of setting up dashboards on Splunk. They're easy to create, manage, alter, and share. You can fine-tune them any way you see fit."
"We evaluated several solutions and selected Splunk due to the functionality and cost."
"Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look at threats and link them to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"Splunk has significantly helped with aggregation and correlation of critical logs. Not having to grep on each individual server has made everyone more efficient."
"Its compatibility with other SIEMS is very useful."
"The integration and plugin availability are nice; the AI module is also great."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I have found most valuable include the risk-based score and UBA/UEBA, user behavior analytics, or user and entity behavior analytics."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is not very affordable, and I have seen many companies planning to leave because of cost concerns."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"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."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"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."
"Improving the infrastructure behind Splunk Enterprise Security is vital—enhanced cores, CPUs, and memory should be prioritized to support better processing power."
"Regarding customer service and technical support, their support is the worst I have ever run into in any industry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"Splunk is priced higher than other solutions."
"Our ROI is high."
"I think that most of the monitoring solutions are expensive."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a worthwhile investment given the comprehensive range of features it offers."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
