Easy to install, highly secure standards, and reliable
We use Oracle Security Monitoring and Analytics Cloud Service for security information, event management, and analytics. This has helped eliminate any external network attacks The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good. They are following the global…
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"We can extract the metrics we want on the dashboards. We are able to react to the incidents."
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"The most valuable feature is the DSS, also known as SPL, because it allows users to script advanced queries with limited knowledge."
"The security part is useful as it helps secure the entire environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to see everything on the same page and provides easy visibility into problems."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"The best part of Splunk Enterprise Security is its customizable settings."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"There are new services which are coming up. If Splunk can catch up with the speed of Amazon, and with the integration, instead of us waiting for another year or so, that would be good."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"Configuring a few apps is complex, not straightforward."
"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."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not a cheap product, but I think it is worth every dollar that you pay."
"Further reductions would be fantastic, and I believe that more and more people would flock to it."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
"It is pretty straightforward and based on the sizing. If I compare it with other competitors, it makes sense."
"Free Splunk license for PoCs on personal machines and the ability to scale the PoC to an enterprise level app."
