I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"You're in for a nice surprise, Splunk is fun, easy to use, and will give you the results you are looking for and more."
"The best features I've experienced over the past six years with Splunk Enterprise Security are the ability to create use cases and the flexibility to customize searches and use cases based on our specific requirements."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it helps with our use cases to detect anomalies in our data and it is important to my company since we have a lot of data on different logs on the systems."
"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."
"Splunk would be my choice for the presentation layer because it comes with inbuilt reports and a dashboard that you can customize."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is able to process a huge amount of data without any issues."
"Splunk Enterprise Security's biggest advantage is the ecosystem, as the large ecosystem can detect threats from a variety of devices, including firewalls and antivirus software, and because it has many built-in rules for detection already, I do not write many playbooks from scratch, which helps me get started on threat detection faster and enables me to predict, identify, and solve problems in real time so security incidents can be prevented."
"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"I would like to have fraud detection features. Fraud is within the same turf as with security operations. Fraud and cybersecurity work hand in hand. I would like to have detection capabilities, or at least dashboards in Enterprise Security for fraud."
"Splunk is very complex. The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"Its interface and usability can always be improved."
"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."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
"The NLP-based thing will give risk-based alerting which will reduce more than 50%, but I could see only 30%."
"We would like more integrations with other cloud products, not just AWS, e.g., Azure."
"The setup time is quite long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The variables and the flexibility that Splunk provides are helpful, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment."
"While Splunk is more expensive than other solutions, we would still choose it because of its capabilities."
"The license for Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"I believe there is room for improvement in reducing costs, particularly in the financial aspect, as Splunk tends to be pricier compared to other options."
"Pricing and licensing are quite high compared to other tools or SIEM tools, but the features justify it."
"It would be nice if the pricing were cheaper. However, we did purchase it."
"Price-wise, if you compare QRadar to Splunk for SIEM functionality then they are in the same range but when you integrate SOAR with these solutions, Splunk takes the lead and is more competitive."
"It is expensive. I used to buy it early on, but then they combined it into a higher-up organization. They buy it for multiple systems now. Last time, I paid around 60K for it. There is just the licensing fee. That's all."
