Provides monitoring and reporting with limited features and room for dashboard improvement
I would rate scalability five out of ten. I did not use it extensively. I cannot evaluate all the components as we have a limited license, allowing us to test only a few areas. That is why I cannot rate areas with which I am not familiar. We monitor limited components with this tool and need licensing for integrating third-party components. Therefore, evaluating those areas is not possible.
ROBERT-CHRISTIAN - PeerSpot reviewer
Has many predefined correlation rules and is brilliant for investigation and log analysis
It is very complicated to write your own correlation rules without the help of Splunk support. What Splunk could do better is to create an API to the standard SIEM tools, such as Microsoft Sentinel. The idea would be to make it less painful. In ELK Stack, Kibana is the query language with which you can search log files. I believe Splunk has also a query language in which they search their log files, but once you have identified the log file that you want to use for further security correlation, you want to very quickly transport that into your SIEM tool, such as Microsoft Sentinel. That is something that Splunk could make a little bit less painful because it is a lot of effort to find that log file and forward it. An API with Microsoft Sentinel or a similar SIEM tool would be a good idea.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was easy to set up."
"It was easy to set up."
"The Ops center from Hitachi lets us see all storage in one place, unlike Dell and EMC, where we work on one storage."
"Having eyes on performance for storage through the Analyzer is valuable for me."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"In the past we used the different application to collect logs. We used SurfWatch and VMware to do so. But, we found that the Splunk has more capacity to do more in less time. They provide a aster speed to index all the events , and this is a huge asset."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"The log aggregation is great."
"The graph visualization is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"The initial setup isn't overly complex."
 

Cons

"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"The dashboard needs improvement."
"Very limited people are available with resource availability in this region, and they have limited knowledge."
"The solution's automation could be improved."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"Sometimes, the data does not match what we're looking for, or the tool contains incorrect data."
"The user experience could be improved."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"Splunk could enhance its offerings by incorporating modules for network detection and response and fraud management, along with improving its threat intelligence management capabilities."
"This is a costly solution."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not cheap."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"Personnel costs are saved by not having to involve the domain developers from multiple teams when tracing a problem that spans multiple platforms."
"The pricing depends on the bandwidth of an organization and is good compared to some SIEM tools. IBM, for example, is quite costly. But Microsoft Sentinel is notably cheaper."
"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 licensing is good, but the pricing absolutely needs some work. It is very high."
"Setup cost is cheap: It is free, it is user-friendly, and it is fast."
"I believe that Splunk Enterprise Security is worth the price, but it is expensive."
