Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

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

"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"Technical support is excellent! It is of top notch level."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is more advanced compared to other solutions, which makes it stand out as a better option."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"The features of Splunk Enterprise Security that I prefer the most are risk-based alerting, the new Mission Control, and the integrations that are coming into place between Mission Control and Splunk SOAR."
"Regarding the impact on threat detection capabilities, it provides a faster mean time to detect."
"Gives full visibility on operational and security posture in our organization."
 

Cons

"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The licensing price is high and has room for improvement."
"We manage alert fatigue multiple times, as false positive alerts are triggered frequently, sometimes 200 to 300 alerts."
"Regarding Splunk Enterprise Security improvements, I think there should be licensing flexibility, including cost optimization for larger data volumes."
"My thoughts on the pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is that it is not cost-efficient; Splunk Enterprise Security is very costly compared to other market tools."
"Splunk needs to be able to hold more days of data. At the moment it only holds three months of data."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Luckily, we come under a large federal agency, and before the pandemic, they signed a large enterprise license agreement. It worked out great and to our advantage because we are a small organization. We got a 300 gig license, and we just did not have the buying power to be able to get products cheaply. Because we all partnered together under the agency umbrella, we were able to get Splunk Enterprise Security, UBA, and ITSI for cheap. This was good considering the fact that some of these premium apps require a minimum number of users, and we do not have the number of people needed to even justify buying it."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"I have no opinion on pricing."
"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"Splunk's costing is a little more difficult. The pricing method is complicated, and the way that costing is calculated in Splunk is a little more difficult."
"This product could use better pricing in general."
