Niranjan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Solution Architect- Security & Privacy at Sify Technologies
Provides different types of logs, but the logs are dispersed in different layers
As per RBI's regulations, we have to perform active log collection and retention of logs for a certain period. The market is too competitive, and various technologies are being adopted. Different cloud providers are available in the market. I am an SIEM service provider. My technology should be well-versed to accommodate all kinds of landscapes from where I can actively collect and process real-time events. I might lose a customer if I miss something due to a technical glitch. Once I address a specific requirement, Oracle should consider it a universal problem. We have to secure the information assets in today's world. This information should be secure in all kinds of environments and geographies, whether deployed on-premise or on the cloud. All different types of logs are available in a unified manner in Oracle. Overall, I rate the solution a five or six out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The IT analysis provides the best solution as to how the infrastructure is going."
"The most valuable feature is mapping."
"The solution provides different types of logs like audit, service, and API logs."
"Using this solution enables our users to figure out, within a second, any problems with the application or the database."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Splunk Enterprise Security as generally good, with very few downtime, crashes, and performance issues."
"While it might be an initial upfront investment on data onboarding, it's going to be something that makes your life incredibly easy once you get beyond that point."
"The features I find most valuable in Splunk Enterprise Security are Incident Review, Security Essentials, Asset and Identity Management, and Machine Learning Toolkit."
"The ability to easily aggregate data and make meaningful reports is what makes Splunk Enterprise Security excellent."
"Splunk has enabled us to utilize many different data sources and is easy-to-use."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is more advanced compared to other solutions, which makes it stand out as a better option."
"Overall, the performance of our applications has really gone up because of Splunk Enterprise Security because now we are able to track everything in the backend."
"Its search is very flexible, allowing you to search anything by typing a sentence."
 

Cons

"The reporting is sometimes a little slow."
"The logs in the solution are dispersed in different layers, so we have to pick the logs from different areas."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Customer support for Splunk Enterprise Security is good; sometimes it's not as fast as I would prefer, but it has been useful."
"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."
"The security can be improved."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is great but can have some frustration points. It can sometimes be slower to use."
"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."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs. It's a bit pricey right now."
"Splunk Enterprise Security incurs a significant cost because of the amount of data we send, but we are fine with the value we're getting for that price."
"Its setup is a little bit complex for a distributed environment. Their support can also be better. If we miss the response for more than a week, they usually close the case. Sometimes, it can take us more than a week to reply."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap compared to its alternatives."
"This solution is costly. Splunk is obviously a great product, but you should only choose this product if you need all the features provided. Otherwise, if you don't need all the features to meet your requirements, there are probably other products that will be more cost-effective. It's cost versus the functionality requirement."
"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."
"You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
"The pricing of Splunk Enterprise Security is somewhat high, but comparing it with its benefits, it's acceptable. It depends on the type of business."
"It's a little bit expensive for a small to medium enterprise."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is expensive."
"Our ROI is high."
"Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
