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.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"Splunk Enterprise Security definitely improved our operations."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"Everything I'm seeing now in Splunk Enterprise Security is effective, especially the AI and the Attack Analyzer, which I found particularly impressive."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"The flexibility of Splunk as well as the resources available for learning and support are the best in the business."
"It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."
"The stability of Splunk Enterprise Security is very impressive; it is a very stable product."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is complicated in terms of developing specific cybersecurity use cases."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive. That's because the model is based on how much data it processes a day, which can be prohibitive, especially if you have a lot of data. A lot of customers may not be ready for the sticker shock on how to fully leverage the product. I realized that the reason for that is that when it was originally designed, it was kind of like a big data modeling application. If they want to have a bigger customer base, they can come out with subsets of their product that are focused on specific things and have different pricing models. It may help with the cost."
"VMware and security device integration looks a bit complex."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table. It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
 

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."
"I think the price could be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"The price of Splunk is too high for our market."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"The licensing costs are high for Splunk Enterprise Security."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
