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."
"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."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"It's very flexible, reports are made quickly, and unlike other tools, it caters to all kinds of technical information on the front very easily so you can pull up the reports very easily, take action, and notify stakeholders."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"It is definitely the best tool I've ever used, but nothing is perfect."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"What I appreciate about Splunk Enterprise Security is creating the newest SPL for network traffic and using the risk-based alerting feature that helps my organization by allowing me to learn more information about Splunk every day because it is a big platform."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"I think the tech support response time could be a bit better. Sometimes I need to wait more than 24 hours for a response to my tickets."
"Due to its high licensing cost, Splunk is out of reach for many organizations."
"At Splunk .conf24, I saw a demo for Splunk Enterprise Security 8. All the things that they have done in Splunk Enterprise Security 8 are what it can be better at."
"Data retention can be better. If we want to look at the data for five months or six months, that is not available to us. We only have a history of 20 or 30 days. After that, the information gets lost. That is a drawback."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"In terms of training. I find that some things about Splunk aren't well-explained. I see features and then go to the website but don't find good explanations."
"There is a learning curve in order to start using machine learning. We have been trying to do it for three years, and we have not managed anything. It is too complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."
"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."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
"We have seen ROI and improvements as we have continued to use the product, but they are more reactive."
"The tool's pricing model is great. You can choose between workloads or volume."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
