Performance monitoring impacts operations with fast storage setup
Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me. The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage. The Analyzer and the Ops center provide a better solution. Before this, we used a CVP with slow performance. This solution works better than before. The visualization vector in the last version is something we have. It is easy to work with and add the storage type. There is no difficulty in adding it.
Sathis-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Bank of America
Helps us detect cyber threats quickly and integrate multiple feeds effectively
Overall, the product is good, but when it comes to some infrastructure issues, we have to dig into more logs. There is no straightforward indication of an issue. Health check kind of dashboards are not available. More AI would help us, and more optimization, since security products run more queries. The AI module could suggest solutions, optimizing queries or workload balancing. If the product itself advises on running queries during peak times, it would be similar to what ChatGPT currently offers. We see quite a few issues on stability. Even last week, we faced something, and identifying bottlenecks is not easy. We need more SMEs, and there is no mechanism to tell us about indexer or search head issues. Self-monitoring dashboards could be beneficial. The technical support still requires more improvement. Often, primary support takes a lot of time and forwards most solutions to the engineering side. The primary support team has very limited knowledge to provide.

Pros

"It was easy to set up."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"Its alerting is most valuable. We have alerts set up in our environment for certain attacks, such as an SQL injection attempt. We have a front-facing server for the website. It is out there, and anybody can access it. When those SQL injection attempts come in, we are able to detect that with the alert."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"When I compare it to different SIEM solutions, Splunk Enterprise Security has incident management and a threat intelligence component that is native and not limited the way different SIEM solutions are."
"When we use a centralized log monitoring system we can see things on the dashboard and it is easier for the IT manager or an IT engineer to take corrective action in the system."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is a wide tool that we can use for different purposes, as it can be configured in many ways, not just as a SIEM, and we can leverage it in various ways."
"The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Splunk Enterprise Security are much better than McAfee, as it is more affordable and seems to be more robust and powerful."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"It is a very stable solution. I never really had a hiccup with the tool."
 

Cons

"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"The customer support for Splunk Enterprise Security is bad, as the support never solves anything."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"I would definitely improve the risk-based alerts in Splunk Enterprise Security, helping SOC analysts to get to the drill-down searches."
"One of the biggest challenges is its licensing cost, especially for organizations that ingest large volumes of data."
"Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive but the solution is equipped with a lot of features."
"The pricing model is based on the number of gigabytes that you ingest into the Splunk system. So it can be an expensive solution."
"The pricing can be better. We are already considering Elastic because Splunk is too expensive. You have to pay based on per-day ingestion. There should be a more flexible model for the use cases where one day you have a huge amount, and on other days, it is quite less."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is somewhat high, but comparing it with its benefits, it's acceptable. It depends on the type of business."
"The variables and the flexibility that Splunk provides are helpful, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment."
