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."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helps improve our organization's business resilience because it is very useful for real-time monitoring and investigation."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers two valuable features: the Common Information Model and arrangement modules."
"We can extract the metrics we want on the dashboards. We are able to react to the incidents."
"It is a very well-organized solution, more user-friendly than ArcSight and QRadar, where I can search and do whatever I need in terms of dashboards, reports, etc., making it the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are the enterprise search bar and the dashboards."
"Splunk has been recognized by Gartner as a leader in providing visibility for observability and monitoring across various platforms, including physical, virtual, and container environments, for several years."
"We can present to our management in real time the security of the batch management for the PCs, security regarding the network equipment. We're currently working in the Azure Cloud project, so we can send any logs from the cloud to Splunk. We can monitor them and we can present to the managers and customers. It's a very good solution for reporting. We use Splunk for reporting and monitoring of any solution in the company."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"When deploying Enterprise Security, the biggest challenge or the most amount of work that you're going to spend time on is onboarding your data and getting it into a position that allows you to search it uniformly. So applying things like the common information model is the biggest time investment that you'll have in the deployment."
"One main change I would suggest is related to the incident board: when an incident is resolved, it should not appear on the incident board."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"Overall, I don't think that this is a very good product and I don't recommend it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"Licensing is a yearly, one-time cost."
"The price of Splunk is reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is affordable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
