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

"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."
"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."
"It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis."
"The most valuable features include agility and Splunk Enterprise Security's ability to quickly search for alerted items, as well as the capacity to create custom alerts using the SQL language employed by Splunk."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's biggest advantage is the ecosystem, as the large ecosystem can detect threats from a variety of devices, including firewalls and antivirus software, and because it has many built-in rules for detection already, I do not write many playbooks from scratch, which helps me get started on threat detection faster and enables me to predict, identify, and solve problems in real time so security incidents can be prevented."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"Its dashboard is valuable, and if you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity, and if fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"The SIEM is the most valuable feature of the product."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"The high cost of Splunk Enterprise Security prevented us from using its full capabilities."
"Data retention can be better. If we want to look at the data for five months or six months, that is not available to us. We only have a history of 20 or 30 days. After that, the information gets lost. That is a drawback."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
"I think the pricing aspect of Splunk Enterprise Security is quite high compared to other products, which I hear from most of my customers."
"It is a challenge to manage the environment in such a way, that one’s log, even with the bandwidth license, isn’t exceeded."
"Better education for users would be beneficial as they often don't know what they don't know or how to look for certain features."
"The system can be intimidating, and sometimes the concepts conveyed in the documentation require adjustment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"It can be tough to determine if you are getting all of the value out of your investment at times."
"The subscription is monthly."
"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
