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.

Quotes from Members

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."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"If properly built, I'm very impressed with the stability of Splunk ES."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"I appreciate the Identity and Assets framework the most, as well as the threat analysis framework."
"It is very scalable."
"Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with Splunk Enterprise Security."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
"Splunk could enhance its offerings by incorporating modules for network detection and response and fraud management, along with improving its threat intelligence management capabilities."
"I think the licensing costs for Splunk Enterprise Security are on the higher side, but I am not certain."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."
"I love the solution, but I would like to see more accessibility to the machine-learning capabilities that are sprinkled around Splunk."
"The high cost of Splunk Enterprise Security prevented us from using its full capabilities."
"Cybersecurity and infrastructure monitoring have room for improvement."
"For us, the area that Splunk Enterprise Security can improve is performance optimization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Our customers often complain that the price of Splunk is too high."
"It's definitely worth it."
"Splunk is expensive based on our current requirements, but it's obviously worth what we pay."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"The pricing is very complicated, and it is very pricey. You do require a lot of different licenses in order to get a comprehensive solution that is not just the SIEM solution."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
