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."
"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."
"Now with Splunk Enterprise Security, we have everything in one place—the notables are created automatically, but they can also create their own notables based on the investigation, which improved and reduced about 50% of the manual work that was done before versus what we are doing now."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable, and you can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator, which makes it powerful in that regard."
"We are satisfied with Splunk Enterprise Security, and it comes with a wide number of out-of-the-box applications which do help us to fix the problems."
"Support is quick and competent."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
"Splunk may be more costly upfront, but in the long run, it saves on time and man-hours."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to capture the different data streams."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"The GUI should be improved, in other words, the overall appearance."
"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."
"One area Splunk Enterprise Security fails to improve is the pricing aspect; while the initial pricing seems fine, the licensing cost can skyrocket over time, creating trauma for organizations."
"Pricing is one factor that hurts everybody on the market; the client, the reseller, everybody that touches it. Only Splunk makes money."
"VMware and security device integration looks a bit complex."
"Due to its high licensing cost, Splunk is out of reach for many organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"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."
"Splunk is not free."
"It is expensive. That is why many customers have moved to IBM QRadar. The price is definitely a challenge for customers."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"My experience with the solution's setup cost, pricing, and licensing was really good."
