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.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"Splunk has many good apps and has a contribution from all security vendors."
"The indexing and data collection are valuable."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful; Splunk agents are useful and good, and its UI is quite impressive."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"It helps us to detect viruses and security events from our network."
"It actually helps us by not having to develop all the use cases ourselves, providing an integrated product that has everything in one place."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
"I've never had too many issues with the stability. Years ago we had indexes crash but that was more on us. We didn't understand how to properly size Splunk."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"The solution is expensive."
"The difficult part is related to integration with sources of data that are used to create the logs as this depends on the infrastructure of the client."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
"There is another new term called benign positives. It is better to clearly identify each definition of those terms since it has not been popular in the industry, and everyone needs to be aware of those things."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
"It is possible to use a developer's license, which is up to 10GB per day of volume traffic, which is usually enough for most use cases."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
"I think the price could be improved."
"I remember Splunk being relatively affordable. Kibana was more reasonable, but you get more with Splunk. If I was suggesting something, I would probably suggest Splunk because it is better to pay a little bit more and get a lot more."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."
