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."
"It's a great investment, especially if you want to strengthen your security stance."
"Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. ​"
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"What I appreciate about Splunk Enterprise Security is creating the newest SPL for network traffic and using the risk-based alerting feature that helps my organization by allowing me to learn more information about Splunk every day because it is a big platform."
"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"The integration and plugin availability are nice; the AI module is also great."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"We used it to create a custom anomaly detection data model to monitor the activity of our back-end services on an hourly basis relative to the past three months of activity."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"It would help to have historical information."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
"We'd like to see a more seamless cloud-based integration."
"Splunk is query-based, which is not the case with most cybersecurity tools. It is based on search queries and can be difficult to use."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"We had some connections issues with the solution at the beginning."
"Its interface could be improved."
"I would like to see ability to master management. In terms of clustering, how it manages clustering needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is based on data volume, which generally suits large enterprises."
"Splunk ES is quite expensive compared to some products on the market."
"Regarding the product's pricing, I think it has always been difficult to have a conversation with Splunk."

"The price can always be lower, but it is fair at the moment. The cost efficiencies depend on the licensing and how much data we are bringing in. We have a fairly large footprint, so it is cost-effective."
"Pricing can be a limiting factor. You have to continuously tune what you are bringing in and make sure what you bring in is of value."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive but the solution is equipped with a lot of features."
"Splunk can be expensive, as its licensing is based on the daily data ingestion volume."
