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 ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"It is stable, very powerful, and their support is good."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"The solution allows easy gathering and ingestion of the data."
"The alerts are very effective."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"Splunk Enterprise Security enhances business resilience and assists with threat detection by centralizing security data."
 

Cons

"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is complicated in terms of developing specific cybersecurity use cases."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
"It would be nice to have more advanced UEBA in Splunk Enterprise Security. Additionally, it would be beneficial if they offered more threat intel feeds for free."
"The first tier support is as bad as it is most places and getting worse all the time."
"We have seen that the pricing has gone higher and the support quality has not kept up or was not as good as it was earlier."
 

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."
"While some clients find the cost of Splunk Enterprise Security to be on the higher end, its pricing is comparable to other SIEM solutions."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but looking at what Splunk provides us, it is reasonable."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. It all depends on how we configure the alerts and the events from the endpoints. You can save some money if you do that correctly. If not, it becomes an expensive solution."
"Splunk is really expensive."
"It is a pretty high cost solution, but if your organization has the funds, it can bring many benefits."
"While Splunk offers generous developer licenses and obtaining annual licenses is straightforward, the cost is a major consideration."
"Expensive compared to other options."
