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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides real-time information alerts."
"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."
"I also provided Splunk as a recommendation because it is a market leader, really powerful, and really good to use."
"The end-to-end visibility into our environment that Splunk provides is impressive. We just need to use it better."
"The ability to identify risks as they come in is quite good."
"The biggest advantage I can see in Splunk Enterprise Security is the big data analytics."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the incident review, which gives a good overview of our security incidents."
"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can retain logs for compliance purposes longer than the usual three months."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
"The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment."
"The cluster environment should be improved. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can be improved mainly from the user interface regarding the visualizations."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
 

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."
"Some of the insights that we have obtained as a part of using Splunk have greatly helped us in increasing our revenue in terms of selling our products."
"Splunk is expensive based on our current requirements, but it's obviously worth what we pay."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"The price can always be lower, but it is fair at the moment. The cost efficiencies depend on the licensing and how much data we are bringing in. We have a fairly large footprint, so it is cost-effective."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
