It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query
The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system. Splunk needs to be tweaked in JSON so you can limit what is coming from the endpoints, especially the events. One needs to filter that out so that only certain events are ingested, like login failures, Active Directory changes, password reset requests, privilege modifications, etc. Each Windows machine generates about 310 KB of information per event, but we can tweak that down to about 50 KB.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable."
"If properly built, I'm very impressed with the stability of Splunk ES."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"I like the search feature and the indexing. It's very fast and comprehensive."
"It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make."
"The benefits my company has seen from the use of Splunk Enterprise Security revolve around the speed of detection it offers."
"It helps streamline troubleshooting and log analysis."
"The solution's most valuable feature is threat intelligence correlations."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
 

Cons

"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers a vast amount of information to learn and comprehend, resulting in a challenging initial learning curve."
"It takes time to train people."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"They could offer pre-built search queries for everyday use cases like brute force attacks, DDoS attacks, and other security threats."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"It would be nice if Splunk provided a little more documentation and instructions on how to upload. The steps are short, but sometimes it's not so intuitive."
"Resource usage can probably be described as an area with shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"The tool's licensing is good and we haven't received any complaints from the team handling it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The pricing and licensing of the product are quite high."
