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."
"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."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has the capability to pull the report from anytime or any respective time, or if I need it from all the time, then it can be helpful."
"The solution helped reduce our alert volume."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a platform that justifies its status as a leader."
"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 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."
"We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds."
"Splunk was good for us because of the support, the documentation, the scalability, the stability."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"Better directions on search head clusters. A lot of the documentation that I saw was either old or out of date."
"Being able to have a one-stop shop where you have the alert, but then you can generate the case right there from Splunk Enterprise Security instead of having to pivot to another tool such as Mission Control. You do not have to keep bouncing between them, so if you could do it all in one place, that would be great. The new release is supposed to start getting in that direction."
"There is a free version, but it is insufficient for training and learning because it is a little bit difficult to work with, especially if you are a beginner."
"I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can improve in the UI UX interfaces, but for the rest, I am very comfortable with the reporting, dashboard, alerting, search, and reporting features."
"Customer support has been quite poor until recently, but they have been improving."
"​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.​"
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"I assume that the pricing is reasonable, because if it was too costly, there are other alternatives."
"Splunk is a bit pricier, but the benefits and ROI are huge."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
"Splunk is costly but it’s worth it due to the high-end features."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"It's more expensive than the other tools, but it's worth it. Every penny is worth it."
"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 can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
