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

"INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems."
"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."
"What I appreciate the most about the product is the flexibility with data ingestion and searching, which is very powerful; you can do whatever you want with it."
"Since Splunk is a platform for data, we can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit."
"In terms of technical support, we don't have any issues, as the professional services which they have extended to us are very, very good."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a valuable tool that allows us to monitor data from the APS daily."
"The scalability is good."
"When using this solution for Security Information Management (SIM), I highly recommend importing data sources from the whole cycle for the service security chain."
"Splunk's strength lies in its single-page view."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"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."
"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"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."
"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"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."
"In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"The subscription is monthly."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
"Luckily, we come under a large federal agency, and before the pandemic, they signed a large enterprise license agreement. It worked out great and to our advantage because we are a small organization. We got a 300 gig license, and we just did not have the buying power to be able to get products cheaply. Because we all partnered together under the agency umbrella, we were able to get Splunk Enterprise Security, UBA, and ITSI for cheap. This was good considering the fact that some of these premium apps require a minimum number of users, and we do not have the number of people needed to even justify buying it."
"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."
"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."
"While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
