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."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I appreciate the most are its flexibility and scalability."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is Search Processing Language, which has benefited my organization by making searching data a lot easier than other tools I've used."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is doing its job in helping improve my organization's business resilience."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"With Splunk, we got more insights out of our data as it includes machine and secure data."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has the capability to pull the report from anytime or any respective time, or if I need it from all the time, then it can be helpful."
"What is nice about the solution is that it makes it easy to build the queries, search for the events and then do analysis."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved with more AI in the commands and more help in the commands, as not all people know how to write code in SPL, and we need more help in this area."
"There is not much to improve in Splunk Enterprise Security, but points such as deep learning and writing complex queries can be time-consuming, and managing multiple correlation rules can become complex over time, especially with high volumes of log data that can affect performance."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"Beyond support, the pricing tier of Splunk Enterprise Security could be better, as it is an expensive solution; however, the cost reflects the value delivered."
"The most significant challenges I face when using Splunk Enterprise Security for advanced threat detection include not having enough time to be in it, the resources and people to also be in there, and trying to configure it and teach people how to use it. A lack of resources prevents us from giving it the attention it needs."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"In terms of pricing, I believe Splunk is unreasonably costly for the majority of mid and small-sized companies."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"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 is not free."
"I work on the technical side, so I don't know precise figures. However, I know that Splunk is a premium product, so it's somewhat costly. Still, you get a lot of unique features for the money."
