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.

It's more user-friendly than other solutions we tried, but it could use more features like process mining and automation
We have an application running for our e-commerce site, and we use Splunk primarily to detect anomalous behavior like false orders and other bot-related threats. Splunk helps us analyze and eliminate threats using machine learning.  Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we…

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."
"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."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"This is a good security product."
"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."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"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."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
 

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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"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."
"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."
