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.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Pros

"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."
"Support is quick and competent."
"It is very simple to tweak or write a small piece of glue code to go ahead and create a new dashboard for a business unit to make near real-time decisions to focus more on other geographies when launching the product."
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
"The main issue that I have with it is that the field transformations sometimes overlap with those in Splunk Enterprise, and then you get permissions issues that lead to troubles."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad."
"Splunk could enhance its offerings by incorporating modules for network detection and response and fraud management, along with improving its threat intelligence management capabilities."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
 

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."
"The pricing model is expensive and a nightmare based on the amount of data."
"Splunk is really expensive."
"It is not cheap."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"Truly evaluate the data you want to ingest and go slow. Pulling in data that can provide no use to your mission only wastes data against your license."
