It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query
The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system. Splunk needs to be tweaked in JSON so you can limit what is coming from the endpoints, especially the events. One needs to filter that out so that only certain events are ingested, like login failures, Active Directory changes, password reset requests, privilege modifications, etc. Each Windows machine generates about 310 KB of information per event, but we can tweak that down to about 50 KB.

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 have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"It gives us good visibility into multiple environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid; irrespective of platform."
"Capability to expand the functionality through custom code for data inputs, commands, visualization, alerts, and machine learning."
"I very much enjoy Splunk's robust search nature, which enables me to find the data I want within the data I have."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are the enterprise search bar and the dashboards."
"Splunk stands out for its extensive application integrations."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"It has virtual visualization, and other products do not."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"Resource usage can probably be described as an area with shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
"Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market."
"Sometimes, the data does not match what we're looking for, or the tool contains incorrect data."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
"I would like to see the asset and identity lookups be more automatic and less manual."
"There is a definite learning curve to starting out."
"I do not have any pain points for Splunk Enterprise Security. I am still trying to learn it, but there can be more information on the education side for Splunk Enterprise Security. It would be nice if the certification path was more specific to what I use instead of being so broad."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"Splunk has always been on the expensive side."
"The licensing is good, but the pricing absolutely needs some work. It is very high."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"Expensive compared to other options."
"I have no opinion on pricing."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"Personnel costs are saved by not having to involve the domain developers from multiple teams when tracing a problem that spans multiple platforms."
