Inbuilt detection algorithms, attentive technical support, and reasonably priced
In terms of scalability, we tested 180,000 events per second with no problems. It is not calculated based on the number of users. In terms of scalability, we calculate security platforms based on events per second. It can be one of the factors, but it is not the determining factor for scalability. Scalability is determined by the number of events that can be processed per second. When looking at enterprise users who are connected to the SOC. An organization can have 100,000 employees, contractors, or staff, but that is not how the same solutions are allocated. In that organization, based on assets, end users, endpoint network devices, and so on and so forth, the result will be events per second. In terms of the same tool usage, the same tool or Securonix tool will be used only by the number of SOC analysts who are monitoring the entire environment. Nobody else uses it. The data for all employees and staff in that organization is consolidated. That is one way of looking at it, and it is not proportional. The number of employees and security events per second is not a direct correlation factor. We are an MSSP. We use it based on the needs of our customers. We are not using it for our own internal purposes. Based on our customer's requirements we deploy it.

Decreases the false positives but storage model complexity hampers efficiency
I recommend it to my customers, but I'm a salesman. I am not implementing it myself It decreases the false positives, so it will decrease the time consumed by the operation team to work on Splunk. The most effective one is the integration with other vendors. This is the most attractive one.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature dashboard is very well organized and intuitive to use. It organizes information on a timeline which is exactly what we need for insider threat future-analysis."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features is UEBA. It's pretty helpful for us to make sure of our thresholds for any of our clients."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the algorithms. Although I said that we have a very solid starting point - our existing library is already very comprehensive - we constantly find areas where we need to develop new algorithms. That is common across platforms. Any vendor with a solid starting point would still need to continue to evolve."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
