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

"It provides real-time information alerts."
"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."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It is stable, very powerful, and their support is good."
"Splunk is one of the top SIEM solutions to work with."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the criticality of alerts."
"It has quite extensive support in terms of integration. If you want to do anything, there are tools for that."
"The ability to identify risks as they come in is quite good."
"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data."
"The query functionality is very easy to use and fast to retrieve logs in comparison to other SIEM solutions."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication."
"The AWS add-on is particularly problematic, with most inputs requiring manual writing due to lack of out-of-box functionality."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
"Pricing is certainly an area that could use improvement. While some vendors may offer lower prices, the value we receive here truly sets this solution apart."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow."
"The tool should include more real-world use case examples built out either through videos or in the community."
"We don't have SOAR products from Splunk. I believe that's an important piece."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"In terms of pricing, I believe Splunk is unreasonably costly for the majority of mid and small-sized companies."
"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
"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."
"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."
"I am not personally involved with the pricing of the solution."
"While some clients find the cost of Splunk Enterprise Security to be on the higher end, its pricing is comparable to other SIEM solutions."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
