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."
"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."
"I find the process for customizing, developing, testing, deploying, and refining detections in Splunk Enterprise Security effective."
"Splunk has provided a venue for us to determine student engagement during COVID, for which we didn't really have any other way except by looking at data that we captured off of our student systems and our authentication servers to see who's logging in, and who's logging out, and for how long they've been logged in."
"I am satisfied with the support."
"Three features stand out for me: the SDK for writing Python, the customizable and adaptable diagnostic dashboard, and the optimizer for collecting data."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"Splunk's strength lies in its single-page view."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Splunk is."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"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."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"The solution could improve by giving more email details."
"The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"The configuration could be better."
"To improve Splunk Enterprise Security, I suggest incorporating more AI features for faster remediation and enhanced responses, allowing users to build more correlation searches quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It is expensive, but it is a good tool. It is worth the cost."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
"It is not cheap."
"I am fine with the licensing, but in terms of the cost, it is expensive for the data that we have. We have an open discussion with our account rep about this."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"Most people share the same thought that the ingestion rates can get pretty pricey. There is a lot of work we do to curate the data that we send to Splunk so that it is not too noisy or too expensive."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."
