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."
"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."
"To get visibility from your network devices, servers, and security devices is a great feature."
"I have noticed a return on investment with Splunk Enterprise Security, as it delivers substantial value for money."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"The incident review in Splunk Enterprise Security seems to be the most helpful feature."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as good, as I have not had any issues with it."
"It provides logs in one place, so they are easy to find. It collects the logs from multiple places, then you have just one place where you see the whole flow from the front-end to the back-end."
"Splunk stands out for its extensive application integrations."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table. It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"The AWS add-on is particularly problematic, with most inputs requiring manual writing due to lack of out-of-box functionality."
"Operational workflow, use case framework, and ticketing systems need improvement to make it suitable for SOC environments."
"Because the licensing model is very complicated to understand, it would be better to start with another product that provides a better licensing model."
"Because we are using a licensed DataDog, which gives us more reliable results. And for file logs, we are using a BAM, a business audit and monitoring tool, which gives us a more visualized experience than Splunk Enterprise Security."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs. It's a bit pricey right now."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The license for Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"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."
"The price of Splunk is too high for our market."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"This product could use better pricing in general."
"The licensing costs are high for Splunk Enterprise Security."
