The solution's graphing is highly specific and useful
Implementing policies in the solution isn't easy, and it takes time. For example, you need to use some secrets in Windows or Mac to execute your policies, and you can assign these policies with Microsoft Intune. However, when you execute a policy, you still need to wait up to two days to see alerts. Some of our customers aren't happy because they didn't expect it to take so long. They're satisfied once it starts working because they see the alerts and graphs. The user interface also isn't user-friendly. When we introduce Insider Risk Management to our clients, they often find it difficult to understand. There is too much information, and the UI is not scalable. Also, entry-level IT technicians are not always interested in learning something new. It should be clearer and easier to understand. Microsoft is still working on machine learning and AI components. They're constantly updating the product. However, from my experience, most of my customers are not ready or able to use the AI solution. They are creating some project plans and specific policies. They don't want to see dozens of alerts when they use Microsoft's recommendations or the AI-based solution.

Decreases the false positives but storage model complexity hampers efficiency
I recommend it to my customers, but I'm a salesman. I am not implementing it myself It decreases the false positives, so it will decrease the time consumed by the operation team to work on Splunk. The most effective one is the integration with other vendors. This is the most attractive one.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Insider Risk Management's graphing is highly specific and useful. You can see the last six months of data for the Microsoft tenant. You can easily find what you need. For example, you can filter for alerts about devices, emails, etc."
"The best thing about Purview is that it's easy to integrate with our day-to-day environment. We have Active Directory, and Word and Excel. Using a third-party vendor and trying to integrate with our existing environment would be much more challenging."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
 

Cons

"The user interface also isn't user-friendly. When we introduce Insider Risk Management to our clients, they often find it difficult to understand. There is too much information, and the UI is not scalable. Also, entry-level IT technicians are not always interested in learning something new. It should be clearer and easier to understand."
"For certain things, you need to install an agent. I understand it's for integrity, but if there could be a clientless solution for certain aspects, it would make life easier."
"There are occasional bugs."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
