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

"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"It was easy to set up."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"It was easy to set up."
"I appreciate the integrations with the SOAR architectures and the expandability that can be used throughout the entire ecosystem of Splunk Enterprise Security."
"Regarding scalability, Splunk Enterprise Security is way ahead compared to other products, and I would score it at the maximum."
"The solution's most valuable feature is threat intelligence correlations."
"We used it to create a custom anomaly detection data model to monitor the activity of our back-end services on an hourly basis relative to the past three months of activity."
"I can create dashboards to collect and view information in a tabular, graphical format. This feature is important because it helps me understand time-series data over one or two hours."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"It is very scalable."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
 

Cons

"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"We don't have SOAR products from Splunk. I believe that's an important piece."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"Their sales support and tech support are really bad. They take really long to respond."
"Better education for users would be beneficial as they often don't know what they don't know or how to look for certain features."
"We haven't saved any money with Splunk Enterprise Security. Instead, we have spent excess of the budget on this with unexpected costs."
"The on-premise integration with SOAR could be more simple; the cloud version integrates with SOAR very easily, but the on-premise SOAR and on-premise Splunk Enterprise Security are really not that easy, so I would appreciate if that could be improved."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"I've ever used it, just studied it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Splunk Enterprise Security is affordable."
"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is cheaper than competitors, but I do not know whether it is just our contract."
"I've heard Splunk is often preferred over other options, but the cost can be prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
"The pricing modules could be improved."
"Splunk is not free."
"It is not cheap."
