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."
"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."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a very useful application to collect all the logs and also to find out the problems. You can easily create whatever you want by using its features, and it also has the capability to collect from all kinds of different platforms. Splunk Enterprise Security provides me with all the alerts."
"The search and query feature is very fast but due to the log size limit (in trial version), we did not get the full benefit."
"The time it takes my SecOps team to remediate security incidents is very reduced compared to before."
"Splunk Enterprise Security positively impacts my organization by aiding in compliance by giving me visibility into what's happening from a workstation to a server to the network with syslog and NetFlow, and this visibility extends to the endpoints as well."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"Splunk has improved our operations by giving us access to more information and allowing us to deploy more use cases."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"Whenever an upgrade happens from a lower version to the latest version, some things get complicated, particularly compatibility issues, which we usually see in Splunk Enterprise Security."
"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."
"Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes."
"The AWS add-on is particularly problematic, with most inputs requiring manual writing due to lack of out-of-box functionality."
"The main dislikes about Splunk Enterprise Security are that we need more highly skilled people and the license for Splunk Enterprise Security is costly."
"As I mentioned before, we came from the McAfee environment, and in that system, they had alerts visibility where we could easily acknowledge the alerts."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"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."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
"Unlike other security tools, Splunk provides a fixed amount of gigabytes per day, and we are required to pay for any additional usage beyond that limit, in addition to our monthly cost."
"The pricing can be better. We are already considering Elastic because Splunk is too expensive. You have to pay based on per-day ingestion. There should be a more flexible model for the use cases where one day you have a huge amount, and on other days, it is quite less."
"The licensing costs are high for Splunk Enterprise Security."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
