Provides great data on business growth as well as analytics for future business planning
The solution is particularly useful in terms of future business planning. It also helps with current data on business growth. As a cloud solution, this is one of the best. It has the IT Analytics and integrates well with big data analytics in ADW and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. There are some fantastic features. The solution also has the OBIEE component. I think it's a game changer.

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

"Particularly useful in terms of future business planning."
"As a cloud solution, this is one of the best."
"I really appreciate the all-integrated SIEM feature of Splunk Enterprise Security, which serves as a one-stop shop to get all security tasks done."
"The risk-based alerting (RBA) is one of the valuable features."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"Over the course of using Splunk Enterprise Security, it has helped us grow our business and attract more clients due to its low mean time to respond and various analytic engines that help us address threats daily, resulting in positive customer feedback and satisfaction."
"Splunk UBA is useful for fraud detection and for detection of APTs, advanced persistent threats."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Splunk Enterprise Security is Search Processing Language, which has benefited my organization by making searching data a lot easier than other tools I've used."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is more advanced compared to other solutions, which makes it stand out as a better option."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more graphical dashboards and EVP access with other application solutions to build the reporting dashboards."
"I would like to see the asset and identity lookups be more automatic and less manual."
"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"The solution's automation could be improved."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"Right now, it is too easy for a user to write a query, run it, make it available in polling mode (real-time mode), and bring down the server."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could be improved by having better role-based access controls."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could be cheaper."
"Its interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive but the solution is equipped with a lot of features."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also a support and maintenance charge."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is probably its weakest spot. As compared to some competitors, Splunk is really expensive."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is not at all cost-friendly to be deployed in very small enterprises like start-ups."
"The pricing is very complicated, and it is very pricey. You do require a lot of different licenses in order to get a comprehensive solution that is not just the SIEM solution."
"It is quite expensive."
