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

"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk."
"It has reduced the time to resolution, time to investigate, and time to troubleshoot for debugging issues."
"The search engine and indexes are fast and optimized, and the report generation dashboard is user-friendly."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is not very affordable, and I have seen many companies planning to leave because of cost concerns."
"Our two main complaints are about the difficulty of the initial setup and the licensing model."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"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 solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"Professional support is great, but too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
"I would highly recommend anyone evaluating this option to download the free trial which allows for the ingestion of 500MB of data per day in order to get a feel for what Splunk does at its core. It will get pricey once your ingestion rates start to sky rocket, but I would consider it expensive given the amount of information that it allows you to analyze and react on straight out-of-the-box."
"It is not cheap."
"Our ROI is high."
"Most people share the same thought that the ingestion rates can get pretty pricey. There is a lot of work we do to curate the data that we send to Splunk so that it is not too noisy or too expensive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Truly evaluate the data you want to ingest and go slow. Pulling in data that can provide no use to your mission only wastes data against your license."
