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

"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."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The ability to quickly search logs, performance data, and other inputs has helped tremendously with troubleshooting."
"It saves us a lot of time, just in man-hours, and being able to look at hundreds or thousands of servers simultaneously."
"The incident review in Splunk Enterprise Security seems to be the most helpful feature."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful; Splunk agents are useful and good, and its UI is quite impressive."
"The most valuable features in Splunk are the search function and the ability to run selected session reports. The session reports are important because I can use them to see what is going on in our environment weekly. Additionally, we can use the graph to see how often that particular event is happening."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is Search Processing Language, which has benefited my organization by making searching data a lot easier than other tools I've used."
"Splunk is stable, and this is why many customers want it."
"We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations."
 

Cons

"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"The configuration could be better."
"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"I find the process for customizing, developing, testing, deploying, and refining detections in Splunk Enterprise Security to be cumbersome."
"If you have to do your own stuff, such as customized charts, it is a little bit more work, but once you're familiar with the Splunk query language, you can pretty much do whatever you want. In terms of features, it should probably have the features that other competitors provide."
"I've never had too many issues with the stability. Years ago we had indexes crash but that was more on us. We didn't understand how to properly size Splunk."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"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

"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."
"My experience with the solution's setup cost, pricing, and licensing was really good."
"The licensing is good, but the pricing absolutely needs some work. It is very high."
"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
"The licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"Some of the insights that we have obtained as a part of using Splunk have greatly helped us in increasing our revenue in terms of selling our products."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Splunk is really expensive compared to all the other tools on the market, including Microsoft Sentinel."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a bit expensive overall, but it provides good value."
