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."
"Splunk is user-friendly. We can easily customize the monitoring script."
"Speeds up root cause analysis and can help identify issues that your organization never realized were occurring."
"The time it takes my SecOps team to remediate security incidents is very reduced compared to before."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"Splunk Enterprise Security Essentials has contributed to a reduction in analyst burnout or fatigue, improved the daily work experience and retention in my security team, and using structured workflow management, it improves my operational coordination, accountability, and the visibility into the remediation process across multiple security initiatives."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"Searches logs from all devices and gives valuable information to the organisation, so it can drill down on all reports and security threats."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
"The setup and configuration process is very complex and tedious, and we often need to speak with support people."
"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Our ROI is high."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is high."
"It can be expensive, especially the licensing costs. However, there is added value in what it can do, not just log aggregation."
"It is economical than other solutions."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"Splunk's costing is a little more difficult. The pricing method is complicated, and the way that costing is calculated in Splunk is a little more difficult."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive but the solution is equipped with a lot of features."
