Provides real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution
INETCO offers monitoring that helps the customer to have a quick way to detect their problems. It shows quickly the root cause of problems, and can give specific details from the transaction (from when the transaction started). It shows a lot of details related to that transaction. * It's a non-intrusive solution. * It provides real-time information alerts. * We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution. The customer can save time and money because it's a way of detecting the root cause of problems. For banks, it helps customers from fraud that many banks are experiencing. Therefore, customers can be more secure in their transactions, and banks can monitor fraud.
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.

Pros

"We can have a real-time detection for the root cause of problems, minimizing time to resolution."
"It provides real-time information alerts."
"This can help customers who already have a lot of monitoring providers consolidate what they have."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."
"We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"The two features I appreciate most in Splunk Enterprise Security are the content management system and the inter-incident review dashboard."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"The solution's most valuable features are the granularity and analysis of the logs."
 

Cons

"It would help to have historical information."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"It needs to improve the way to install third-party apps and enable installation without logging into splunk.com."
"The product was difficult to back up the first time."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"I'd love to see more integrations, which is one of the primary points of the key node with Splunk Enterprise Security."
"​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers can save costs (time and money) by integrating with this tool."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."
"The pricing is based on the volume of data fed into it, which can lead to substantial costs. This pricing model is complex and unpredictable, making cost management difficult."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it has great features. If you want a great solution you need to pay a price matching the features."
"Splunk is really expensive compared to all the other tools on the market, including Microsoft Sentinel."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"The solution is costly."
"We have an unlimited one, and we pay yearly, but I don't know how much it costs. Previously, I worked for a startup, and when they started building it up, it was complicated for them because they didn't have the budget for that many licenses. It was very costly for them. So, startups might find it a little bit problematic because of the licensing, but for bigger companies, there is no issue."
