Beneficial AI detection, helpful support, but modern UI needed
The initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System requires a bunch of steps starting with installing the hardware and setting it up. However, most of the setup is done by the vendor. I rate the initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System an eight out of ten. The vendor provides free training in the software provided.

Offers intuitive deployment with strong customer support and advanced analytics features
There are improvements that could be made to Splunk User Behavior Analytics as any product will have advantages and disadvantages. Scalability is one consideration. For example, the advantages include rapid auto scaling to meet demand. A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed. The speed of deployment offers faster provisioning as an advantage, but it can require substantial automation skills and infrastructure as code expertise, which can be challenging. Cloud provides major operational benefits such as agility, automation, resilience, and global access when setting up on Cloud. However, it introduces challenges such as cost control, complexity, and vendor dependency. For example, global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One or two people can maintain and support the solution. The maintenance is not difficult."
"One or two people can maintain and support the solution. The maintenance is not difficult."
"The most valuable features of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System are the AI detection and monitoring of common threats."
"Splunk is a very powerful platform; when it comes to functionality and ease of use, Splunk is one of the market leaders in this area."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The dashboards are one of the very core functions of Splunk User Behavior Analytics; they are very good in dashboarding, and the dashboards themselves are nice, very good, and very helpful."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"This is a good security product."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats, and we are now 40 percent or more effective or faster."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
 

Cons

"Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System can improve by having more anti-spam features that will hopefully eliminate all of the other threats."
"The UI dashboard view needs to be improved because it is ugly. If it was more modern it would be better. Additionally, better integration with other databases would be good."
"Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System can improve by having more anti-spam features that will hopefully eliminate all of the other threats."
"The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"I didn't give them ten because Splunk does not provide something for the professional investigation."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"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."
"I wouldn't buy Splunk because of the cost, because you can't budget for it."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is good. It is less expensive than the other solutions in the market. There are not any additional features or hidden costs."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
