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."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It has a low barrier to entry, but it is extremely extensible, allowing it to be tailored to highly specific use cases."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look at threats and link them to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"The query functionality is very easy to use and fast to retrieve logs in comparison to other SIEM solutions."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"Positive features include replication capabilities, software development kits, and the architecture."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"Our organization has very limited resources, so we would want to expand some of those automation and AI capabilities to fill those gaps."
"Regarding pricing, Splunk Enterprise Security is on the higher side in terms of cost. It is more suitable for enterprises that can fully utilize its capabilities, and smaller organizations might find it expensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of data and licensing models."
"The security can be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could be cheaper."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"Sometimes talking through email isn't the most effective method, as they go through troubleshooting steps we've already taken, which requires additional back-and-forth communication."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"The tool's licensing is good and we haven't received any complaints from the team handling it."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"Luckily, we come under a large federal agency, and before the pandemic, they signed a large enterprise license agreement. It worked out great and to our advantage because we are a small organization. We got a 300 gig license, and we just did not have the buying power to be able to get products cheaply. Because we all partnered together under the agency umbrella, we were able to get Splunk Enterprise Security, UBA, and ITSI for cheap. This was good considering the fact that some of these premium apps require a minimum number of users, and we do not have the number of people needed to even justify buying it."
"The price of Splunk is too high for our market."
"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."
