Centralized analytics have transformed noc and soc operations and deliver faster threat response
Splunk Enterprise Platform's most valuable features include its integration with AI, as Cisco, which has taken Splunk Enterprise Platform recently, is building up AI functionalities, enhancing remediation capabilities and the orchestration part in the market. Additionally, Splunk Enterprise Platform shows the correct logs at the correct time, and inventory management is very good. I assess the effectiveness of Splunk Enterprise Platform in detecting anomalies and preventing system outages as very strong; for over two to three decades, it has provided centralized log visibility, real-time monitoring, and analytics correlation, which is robust for threat detection and incident investigation. Splunk Enterprise Platform's machine learning capability of the toolkit predicts trends and reduces many false positives, making Splunk Enterprise Platform an essential tool for both SOC and network operations, where it effectively detects anomalies that other SIEM tools cannot. Splunk Enterprise Platform's personalized dashboards are superb, as I have been experimenting with them extensively, and new features have enhanced their quality, making them particularly effective for presentations to leadership, including direct engagement with the CISO.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"The platform has a powerful search engine, allowing the integration of custom AI such as ChatGPT, and it also has Phantom as a SOAR, which is more refined and gives more accurate results than any other AI integrated SIM tool."
"The personalized dashboards in Splunk Enterprise Platform are a good feature."
"I found the incident notification to be very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Platform is that it's a customizable solution."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform can be used for security, IT monitoring, and observability."
"Splunk is very flexible in handling various formats of data as long as basic rules are adhered to."
"I assess the effectiveness of Splunk Enterprise Platform in detecting anomalies and preventing system outages as very strong; for over two to three decades, it has provided centralized log visibility, real-time monitoring, and analytics correlation, which is robust for threat detection and incident investigation."
"Splunk's real-time processing capability has been pretty good for my use cases."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"The number one area for improvement is cost; it is not cost-efficient for small organizations."
"Splunk is not an out-of-the-box solution like Micro Focus or Zabbix. You have to create your request to collect the data and add crucial components to the software."
"The cost increases significantly as data volume grows. We ingest terabytes of data, so I can say Splunk Enterprise Platform is somewhat costly."
"Splunk Enterprise Platform could improve in the area of basic log readability. When performing basic searches without advanced filters, the logs often contain timestamps and various unknown codes or other elements that can be confusing. Removing or simplifying these parts would make it easier for users who are not developers or do not have a development background to understand and find relevant information easily."
"One thing I dislike is definitely the licensing cost, especially when our ingestion volume increases, so it is a bit costly."
"Sometimes, queries don't give proper results, and the indexes go down."
"I consider Splunk Enterprise Platform an expensive tool because budget constraints from license-based data ingestion costs are significant."
"Integration is an area that can be considered as one of the challenges we face with the solution in our company"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are yearly payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"If you exceed your licensed limit, the product will issue a warning, typically a five-license warning. Additionally, they send daily email notifications informing you about the breach. This prompts you to consider options such as minimizing logs or acquiring additional licensing to address the issue."
"I have heard from my managers that Splunk Enterprise Platform is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive, so I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is a very pricey tool."
"The solution's pricing increases with the amount of data used. This pricing model is acceptable because it aligns with the security features provided. It ensures that the price reflects the level of security and the amount of data we're managing."
"The tool is expensive."
