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.

"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."
"It's basically one of the best SIEM products on the market."
"What I like the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is the flexibility and customization it offers, as you can create dashboards, write custom SPL queries, and design detections exactly as per your environment while leveraging strong correlation capabilities and visualizing everything in a single place, which makes analysis easier and far better than other solutions."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk."
"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 solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"Splunk has a single purpose in life: ingest machine data and help analyze and visualize that data."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"Most importantly, Splunk can be outrageously expensive. That is the problem with both Splunk and Sentinel. Their pricing literally explodes based on the amount of data you feed in."
"Its deployment is difficult. I remember when I first started learning, I faced several challenges, especially when deploying VMware in a virtual environment."
"Regarding room for improvement, I expect Splunk to provide information about new features on a regular basis, such as notifications about enhancements that may improve security posture."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"Being a SIEM solution with a centralized dashboard, we would like to have more options to customize it."
"Technical support services are lacking, especially after you buy the product."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) correlation what we are trying to do has missed a few features from the earlier versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"I am not personally involved with the pricing of the solution."
"The Splunk licensing is high."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"Price-wise, if you compare QRadar to Splunk for SIEM functionality then they are in the same range but when you integrate SOAR with these solutions, Splunk takes the lead and is more competitive."
