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

"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"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."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"Regarding scalability, Splunk Enterprise Security is way ahead compared to other products, and I would score it at the maximum."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is amazing."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable, and you can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator, which makes it powerful in that regard."
"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is Search Processing Language, which has benefited my organization by making searching data a lot easier than other tools I've used."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"Everything I'm seeing now in Splunk Enterprise Security is effective, especially the AI and the Attack Analyzer, which I found particularly impressive."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The first tier support is as bad as it is most places and getting worse all the time."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is not very affordable, and I have seen many companies planning to leave because of cost concerns."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"Splunk could add more ways to manage archiving and storage. There isn't a web interface. You can do this on the SaaS version, but the on-premise platform doesn't have this option. It has other things but no option for remote NAS. I would like to have a personal web interface where I can specify how long logs should be stored. To have this readily available on the web, you need to adjust some settings on the backend. That is tricky."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"I encounter issues such as downtime, bugs, glitches, and unbox errors."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."
"The licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
"From what I have seen so far, Splunk has multiple cost models. The one that we are using is pretty good when it comes to ingesting data into the environment. It has worked out pretty well."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"The Splunk Enterprise Security license is expensive."
"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."
