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 configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"Overall, the performance of our applications has really gone up because of Splunk Enterprise Security because now we are able to track everything in the backend."
"The dashboard is amazing. Out-of-the-box dashboard is very good. It is very user-friendly."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"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."
"The initial deployment was straightforward."
"Splunk Enterprise Security scales well with the growing needs of our company."
"If you are an enterprise and you need the best service for critical business analysis, Splunk would be one of the best choices."
 

Cons

"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"The system can be intimidating, and sometimes the concepts conveyed in the documentation require adjustment."
"The area of concern revolves around the fact that Splunk is an expensive product."
"The default threat intel feeds create many false positives and noise, which is counterproductive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"I think the price could be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"The solution is costly."
"It is a bit costly."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is priced lower than competitors."
"The price is comparable."
